We really shouldn't be (F#7) doin' this
And we both know (B) why
Just bein' close enough to (F#7)think like this
Enough to make you need to (B) lie
This kind of talk will lead us (B7) to somewhere
We're getting way too close to (E) goin' there (C#m7)
The farther off, the better (F#7) to resist
We really shouldn't be (B) doin' this
Only an isolated (F#7) incident
But the aquainence left me (B) stunned
The first attraction was the (F#7) hardest hit
I thought I'd ever over(B)come
This kind of situation (B7) has to pass
This chance encounter has to (E) be the last (C#m7)
To take it farther we would (F#7) be remiss
We really shouldn't be (B) doin' this
Solo
We'd each be hurtin' some(B7)body else
If we don't say our good(E)byes real fast (C#m7)
Won't even think about a (F#7) farwell kiss
We really shouldn't be (B) doin' this
Well----(No Chord), We really shouldn't be (F#7) doin' this

Just bein' close enough to (F#7) think like this
Enough to make me have to (B) lie
This kind of talk can lead us (B7) to somewhere
We're getting way too close to (E) goin' there (C#7)
The farther off, the better (F#) to resist
We really shouldn't be (B) doin' this
This kind of situation (B7) has to pass
This chance encounter has to (E) be the last (C#m7)
To take it farther we would (F#7) be remiss
We really shouldn't be (B) doin' this
Won't even think about a (F#7) goodbye kiss
We really shouldn't be (B) doin' this
