intro - 4 bars guitar
 
verse 1
  |A              A6 (002222)    |Amaj7 (002224)    A6
I know I stand in line until you think you have the time
            |Bm          E     |Bm   E
To spend an evening with me.
    |Bm          E                |Bm                 E
And if we go someplace to dance I know that there's a chance
             |A           A6    |Amaj7    A6
You won't be leaving with me.
    |A7                       |
And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
           |D            |F 
And have a drink or two.
    |Bm           E               |Bm              E7
And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid
        |A   A6    |Amaj7    A6
Like "I love you."
 
bridge 1
      |A7                             |
I can see it in your eyes that you despise the same old lines
              |D            |
You heard the night before.
    |B7                                |
And though it's just a line to you for me it's true
                    |E             |E7#5    (022110)
And never seemed so right before.
 
verse 2
  |A             A6               |Amaj7          A6
I practise every day to find some clever lines to say
            |Bm          E      |Bm  E
To make the meaning come true.
    |Bm               E              |Bm          E
But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late
         |A        A6    |Amaj7    A6
And I'm alone with you.
    |A7                                  |
The time is right, your perfume fills my head,
                              |D                |F 
The stars get red and oh, the night's so blue.
    |Bm           E               |Bm              E7
And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid
        |A   A6    |Amaj7    A6
Like "I love you."
 
verse 3
  |A             A6               |Amaj7          A6
I practise every day to find some clever lines to say
            |Bm          E      |Bm  E
To make the meaning come true.
    |Bm               E              |Bm          E
But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late
         |A        A6    |Amaj7    A6
And I'm alone with you.
    |A7                                  |
The time is right, your perfume fills my head, the stars get red
            |D                |F 
And oh, the night's so blue.
    |Bm           E               |Bm              E7
And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid
        |A         |F 
Like "I love you."

  |A        |F     |A        |F...
I love you       I love you       I love you
