Verse 1:
Em A7 D
We can call Mrs. Johnson to keep the kids a day or two.
Em A7 D
Take the early flight to Florida, just the way we used to do.
Em A7 D
Have room service bring us breakfast, make love all through the day.
Em A7 D
If We're Not Back In Love By Monday, we can go our sep'rate ways.

Chorus:
G D
If We're Not Back In Love By Monday we can't say we didn't try.
Em A7 D
Just before we bury our love, Let's make sure we've let die.
G D
Sleep a few more nights together, say the things we used to say
Em A7 D
If We're Not Back In Love By Monday, we can go our sep'rate ways.

Verse 2:
Em A7 D
We could find that little cafe with funny sounding name.
Em A7 D
Get the table by the window, I'll say I love you once again.
Em A7 D
If the vi'lin player's still there, we'll dance until the break of day.
Em A7 D
If We're Not Back In Love By Monday, we can go our sep'rate ways.

Chorus
