Intro: G Am D7 Am D7 G
G G6 G7M G6
I know I stand in line, until you think you have the time
Am7 D7 Am D7
To spend an evening with me
Am7 D7 Am7 D7
And if we go some place to dance, I know that there's a chance
G G6 G7M G6
You won't be leaving with me
G7
And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
C Eb
And have a drink or two
Am7 D7 Am7 D7
And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid
G G6 G7M G6
Like: "I love you"
G7
I can see it in your eyes, that you despise the same old lies
C
You heard the night before
A7
And though it's just a line to you, for me it's true
D7
It never seemed so right before
G G6 G7M G6
I practice every day to find some clever lines to say
Am7 D7 Am7 D7
To make the meaning come through
am7 D7 Am7 D7
But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late
G G6 G7M G6
And I'm alone with you
G7
The time is right your perfume fills my head, the stars get red
C Eb
And oh the night's so blue
Am7 D7 Am7 D7
And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid
G G6 G7M G6
Like: "I love you"
