E  B7    E
I know I stand in line 
          F#m                 B
Until you think you have the time 
            F#m           B
To spend an evening with me
    F#m           B              
And if we go someplace to dance
  F#m                  B      
I know that there's a chance 
             E
You won't be leaving with me
[Verse 2]
    E7
And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place 
           A            C
And have a drink or two
    F#m            B           
And then I go and spoil it all 
   F#m               B       
By saying something stupid
       E
Like I love you
[Verse 3]
      E7
I can see it in your eyes 
That you despise the same old lines 
              A
You heard the night before
    F#                                   F#7
And though it's just a line to you, for me it's true
                    B            B7
And never seemed so right before
[Verse 4]
  E
I practice everyday 
To find some clever lines to say 
            F#m           B    F#m B
To make the meaning come true
    F#m                B    
But then I think I'll wait 
          F#m           B
Until the evening gets late
        E
And I'm alone with you
[Verse 5]
    E7
The time is right your perfume fills my head
                       
The stars get red and
        A               C
Oh, the night's so blue
    F#m            B           
And then I go and spoil it all 
   F#m               B       
By saying something stupid
       E
Like I love you
[Verse 6]
    E7
The time is right your perfume fills my head
                       
The stars get red and
        A               C
Oh, the night's so blue
    F#m            B           
And then I go and spoil it all 
   F#m               B       
By saying something stupid
       E        C
Like I love you 
[Outro]   (fade to end)
  E        C
I love you 
  E        C
I love you 
  E        C
I love you 
  E        C
