Intro 

Am D Am D G 



[Verso 1]


  G 
I know I stand in line until you think you have the time 
            Am           D  Am D 
To spend an evening with me 
    Am           D 
And if we go someplace to dance 
  Am                  D 
I know that there's a chance 
             G 
You won't be leaving with me 
     G7 
Then afterwards we drop into a quiet little place 
           C            Eb7 
And have a drink or two 
    Am            D 
And then I go and spoil it all 
   Am               D 
By saying something stupid 
       G 
Like I love you 



[Ponte]


      G7 
I can see it in your eyes that you despise the same old lines 
              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 


[Verso 2]


  G 
I practice every day to find some clever lines to say 
            Am           D    Am D 
To make the meaning come true 
    Am                D              Am 
But then I think I'll wait until the evening 
     D 
Gets late 
         G 
And I'm alone with you 
    G7 
The time is right your perfume fills my head the stars get red 
           C               Eb7 
And oh the night's so blue 
    Am            D 
And then I go and spoil it all 
   Am               D 
By saying something stupid 
       G 
Like I love you

    G7 
The time is right your perfume fills my head the stars get red 
           C               Eb7 
And oh the night's so blue 
    Am            D 
And then I go and spoil it all 
   Am               D 
By saying something stupid 
       G       Eb7 
Like I love you 
  G        Eb7 
I love you 
  G        Eb7 
I love you 
  G    Eb7 G Eb7 G Eb7 G Eb7 G 
I oooh
