    A                      A
Are you surprised it's me
D/B                  D/B         A  A  A  A
    Hope I didn't wake anybody

Dmaj7      Dmaj7   Dmaj7/B     Dmaj7/B          A   A
Honey,             please           wait up for me
Dmaj7      Dmaj7   Dmaj7/B     Dmaj7/B        A   A
I miss you         more than           I need sleep

A                         A
Guess I'll let you go
D/B           D/B                 A  A
Even though     I don't want to

Dmaj7      Dmaj7   Dmaj7/B     Dmaj7/B          A   A
Honey,             please           wait up for me

When Jeff Tweedy plays this live, he cranks up the reverb, and plays these chords in 3/4, might be a little
more exciting when you're accompanying yourself

First play this. Picking pattern that works best for me is down down up:
E|---------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------|
D|-------0-------0------0-------0--|
A|-----0-------0------0-------0----|
E|-0h1-----0h2-----0h3----0h4------|

Then this pattern starts over A:
E|-------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------|
G|-----2-2---2-2------2-2---2-2--|
D|-----2-2---2-2------0-0---2-2--|
A|--0-------------0h2------------|
E|---------0--------------2------|

One slight variation the second time through
E|-------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------|
G|-----2-2---2-2------2-2---2-2--|
D|-----2-2---2-2------0-0---2-2--|
A|--0h2-----------0h2------------|
E|---------0--------------2------|

Play this each time A is written above:
E|-------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------|
G|-----2-2---2-2------2-2---2-2--|
D|-----2-2---2-2------0-0---2-2--|
A|--0-------------0h2------------|
E|---------0--------------2------|

E|-------------------------------|
B|----3---3-3-----3---3-3--------|
G|----2---2-2-----2---2-2--------|
D|----0---0-0-----0---0-0--------|
A|--2-----------2----------------|
E|-------------------------------|

Play this where Dmaj7 is written:
E|--------------------------------|
B|--------2--------2--------------|
G|------2--------2----------------|
D|--0h2------0h2------------------|
A|--------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------|

This where Dmaj7/B is
E|--------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------|
G|--------2--------2--------------|
D|------0--------0----------------|
A|--0h2------0h2------------------|
E|--------------------------------|

E|--2---0-----0h2----2h3----------|
B|--3---3-----3------3------------|
G|--2---2-----2------2------------|
D|--------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------|
