                      LEAD-IN: G  ( D C )  Am7
         ( G          
     After workin' all day,
           C )
     gotta drive a long way
         ( G                   D7 )
        to make my escape, but then,
         ( D
         I gotta see you or bust
           C )
    but to see you I must
           G
        commute all over again.
         ( D
     But I think when I drive
           C )
   an' I'm thinkin' that I've
         ( D                     C )
     got a plan I'm damned proud of
         ( D
        to spend a great deal
           Em7 )
      less time at the wheel
           G
     and a lot more time on love:

           C
You should live here!
         ( C           G )
 We should   give it a spin.
           C
You should live here!
         ( C                 D )
 We should   move your stuff in.
         ( G                      G7 )
     We'll hang your jeans in the closet with mine,
         ( C                  C7 )
      move my beer over, make room for your wine,
         ( D7                      C7 )             ( D
         Admit it, it's true, it's obvious you should live here
           C )      ( G     C )  G7
         - all of the time.


           What say tomorrow
        we go rent a yellow
           twelve-foot Ryder truck,
      make one trip more
        to your front door,
       and fill that big box up,
           haul it over here,
           open up the rear,
     bring in your things and style,
           make this home your very own
       an' make my life worthwhile.

You should live here!
 We should start life again.
You should live here!
 We should move your stuff in.
     Let's hang your jeans in the closet with mine,
      move my beer over, make room for your wine,
         Admit it, it's true, it's obvious you should live here
         - all of the time.


INSTRUMENTAL HALF VERSE
       Now we might just
         rely on trust
        or better yet, marry soon,
       but either way,
       all my remaining years belong to you.

You should live here!
        in wedlock or sin!
You should live here!
 We should move your stuff in.
 

       Now honey how can
       you take my great plan
       and stand it on its head?
         I just can't see
       why you'd have me
      move in with you instead.
         Except that your
         garage holds more
   an' you got less yard to mow,
  an' some workbench space
      down in your basement,
        so honey if you say so,

  I should live there!
    Either way we win.
  I should live there!
 We should move my stuff in.
     We'll hang my jeans in the closet with yours,
           slide this dresser by that chest of drawers,
     Let's give it a try, it's obvious I should live there
         - evermore.
