Intro: Gbm B Gbm B E
E E6
I know I stand in line until you
E E6 Gbm B Gbm B
think you have the time to spend an evening with me
Gbm B Gbm B
And if we go someplace to dance I know that there's a chance
E E6 E E6
you won't be leaving with me
E E9 E E9
And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
Am6 Am
And have a drink or two
Gbm B Gbm B
And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid
E E6 E E6
like I love you
E E9 E E9
I can see it in your eyes that you despise the same old lines
Am6
you heard the night before
Gb
And though it's just a line to you for me it's true
B
and never seemed so right before
E E6 E E6
I practice everyday to find some clever lines to say
Gbm B Gbm B
to make the meaning come true
Gbm B Gbm B
But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late
E E6 E E6
And I'm alone with you
E E9 E E9
The time is right your perfume fills my head the stars get red
Am6 Am
and on the nights so blue
Gbm B Gbm B
And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid
E E6 E E6
like I love you
Solo
E E6 E E6 Gbm B Gbm B

The time is right your perfume fills my head the stars get red
Am6 Am
and on the nights so blue
