Introduction:
D7M D6 D7M
I know I stand in line until you think you have the time
Em7 G/B A7 G/B A7
To spend an evening with me
Em7 A7 G/B A7
And if we go some place to dance, I know that there's a chance
D7M D6 D7M D6
You won't be leaving with me
D D9 D7 D7/F#
Then afterward, we go into some quiet little place
G7M G6 Gm7
And have a drink or two
Em7 A7
And then I go and spoil it all
Em7 A7 D
By saying something stupid, like, "I love you"
Bridge
D D9 D
I can see it in your eyes that you despise
D7 G7M G6
The same old lies you heard the night before
E Bm
But though it's just a line to you
E7 Bm7(b5) A9 A A7
For me it's true, and never seemed so right before
D D6 D7M D
I practice every day to find some clever line to say
Em7 G/B A7 G/B A7
To make the meaning come through
Em7 A7 G/B A7
But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late
D7M D6 D7M D6
And I'm alone with you
D D9 D7
The time is right...your perfume fills my head,
D7/F# G7M G6 Gm7
The stars get red, and, oh, the night's so blue
Em7 A7
And then I go and spoil it all
Em7 A7 Em7 D Gm7
By saying something stupid, like, "I love you"
Coda
