G 
I know I stand in line until you think you have the time
            Am              D7 Am D7      Am              D7
to spend an evening with me.         And if we go someplace to dance
   Am                   D7                 G
I know that there's a chance you won't be leaving with me.


                               G7
Then afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
             C           Eb     Am             D7
and have a drink or two.    And then I go and spoil it all
    Am               D7              G
by saying something stupid like: "I love you."


                                       G7         
I can see it in your eyes that you despise the same old lies
                C               A7    
you heard the night before. And though it's just a line to you
                                      D7
For me it's true and never seemed so right before


   G
I practice every day to find some clever lines to say
             Am                  D7 Am D7     Am                  D7 
to make the meaning come through.         But then I think I'll wait until
    Am            D7              G
the evening gets late and I'm alone with you.


    G7
The time is right your perfume fills my head
                               C             Eb     Am            D7
the stars get red and oh the night's so blue.   And then I go and spoil it all
   Am               D7               G         G Am D7 Am D7 Am D7 Am D7 G
by saying something stupid like: "I love you"


    G7
The time is right your perfume fills my head
                               C             Eb     Am            D7
the stars get red and oh the night's so blue.   And then I go and spoil it all
   Am               D7               G          Eb    G        Eb    G        Eb
by saying something stupid like: "I love you"      I love you.    I love you.
   G        Eb    G        Eb    G        Eb    G        Eb  G
I love you.    I love you.    I love you.    I love you.
