[Intro]
                                   Am7
Well, can't you see that it's just rainin'
                          G7
There ain't no need to go outside
 
[Verse 1]
    C7        G           D9
But baby, you hardly even notice
Am7           C7
When I try to show you
     G7               D9
This song is meant to keep you
     Am7                  C7
From doin' what you're supposed to
G             D9
Wakin' up too early
Am7            C7
Maybe we could sleep in
G               D9
Make you banana pancakes
   Am7                C7      Am7
Pretend like it's the weekend now
 
[Chorus]
                                G7
And we could pretend it all the time
                             Am7
Can't you see that it's just rainin'
                          G7
There ain't no need to go outside
 
[Verse 2]
         C7     G       D9
But just maybe, laka ukulele
Am7         C7
Mama made a baby
G                    D9
Really don't mind to practice
        Am7              C7
Because you're my little lady
G7         D7
Lady, lady love me
         Am7              C7
'Cause I love to lay here lazy
G                  D9
We could close the curtains
   Am7                  C7     Am7
Pretend like there's no world outside
 
[Chorus]
                                G7
And we could pretend it all the time
                             Am7
Can't you see that it's just rainin'
                          G
There ain't no need to go outside
                        Am7
Ain't no need, ain't no need
       G7
mmmm mmmm
                         Am7
Can't you see, can't you see
                         G
Rain all day and I don't mind
 
[Bridge]
        Am7
But the telephone's singing, ringing
                              D
It's too early, don't pick it up, we don't need to
       Am7
We got everything we need right here
                           D
And everything we need is enough, just so easy
         Bm
When the whole world fits inside of your arms
      Em             Em/D#         C
Do we really need to pay attention to the alarm
        G
Wake up slow
     D9
mmmm mmmm
        G
Wake up slow
 
[Verse]
    C7        G           D9
But baby, you hardly even notice
Am7           C7
When I try to show you
     G                D9
This song is meant to keep you
     Am7                  C7
From doin' what you're supposed to
G             D9
Wakin' up too early
Am7            C7
Maybe we could sleep in
G               D9
Make you banana pancakes
   Am7                C7      Am7
Pretend like it's the weekend now
 
[Chorus]
                                G7
And we could pretend it all the time
                             Am7
Can't you see that it's just rainin'
                          G
There ain't no need to go outside
                        Am7
Ain't no need, ain't no need
                   G
Rain all day and I really, really, really don't mind
                         Am7
Can't you see, can't you see
                   G
You gotta wake up slow

Oh, and I'd say at the "Wake up slow, mmm mmm, wake up slow" I'd go for G7 then a D then a G7. What do you reckon?
