   D 
I know I stand in line until you think
                               Em            A   Em  A 
You have the time to spend an evening with me.
     Em            A                 Em 
And if we go someplace to dance I know that
           A                    D 
There' s a chance you won' t be leaving with me.

     D7 
And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
            G             Bb 
And have a drink or two...
     Em             A                Em 
And then I go and spoil it all by saying
           A               D 
Something stupid, like I love you.

       D7 
I can see it in your eyes that you despise
                                  G 
The same old lines you heard the night before.
     E                                   E7 
And though it' s just a line to you for me it' s true
                     A             A+ 
And never seemed so right before.

   D 
I practice everyday to find some clever lines
                    Em            A     Em  A 
To say to make the meaning come true.
     Em                 A               Em            A 
But then I think I' ll wait until the evening gets late
         D 
And I' m alone with you.

     D7 
The time is right your perfume fills my head
                               G                Bb 
The stars get red and oh, the night' s so blue.
     Em             A                Em 
And then I go and spoil it all by saying
           A7             D 
Something stupid like I love you.

     D7 
The time is right your perfume fills my head
                               G                Bb 
The stars get red and oh, the night' s so blue.
     Em             A                Em 
And then I go and spoil it all by saying
           A7             D           Bb 
Something stupid like I love you.

   D         Bb 
I love you...
   D         Bb 
I love you...
   D         Bb 
I love you...
