I know I stand in line  
-1 -1  -1    2    2   2    2   -2
un-til you think you have the time 
-2   2   1  -1  -1    -2  2
To spend an eve-nin’ with me. 
 1  1  1  1   1     1   -1  -1
And if we go some-place to dance 
-1  2   2     2      2  -2
I know that there's a chance 
-2    2   1   -1  -1   2   -1
You won't be leav-in’ with me. 
 1   -2 -2   -2   -2   3
Then af-ter-wards we drop 
3  3  3 -3  -3 -3  -3    4
in-to a qui-et lit-tle place 
-3*  -3 -3* -3   3   3
And have a drink or two, 
-1   -2 -2 -2 -1    2   2   2
And then I go and spoil it all 
-1 -2  -2   -2   -1    2   2
by say-in’ some-thin’ stu-pid 
 2  -3   3  -2
Like I love you. 

1  1  -2  -2 -2  -2   3
I can see it in your eyes 
 3    3  3   -3   -3   -3  -3    4
that you de-spise the same old lines 
-3*  -3   -3*  -3   3   3
You heard the night be-fore. 
-1    3     3    3   3  -3  -3 -3
And though it's just a line to you 
-3  -4  -4   -4
for me it's true 
-4  -5  -5   -5   6   -5   5   5
And nev-er seemed so right be-fore. 

1  1    1   1   1  -1  -1  -1
I prac-tice ev-‘ry day to find 
 -1   2   2    2   2  -2
some clev-er lines to say 
-2  2    1   -1  -1   -2     2
To make the mean-ing come through. 
 1   1   1   1    1    -1
But then I think I'll wait 
-1 -1  -1   2   2    2    -2
Un-til the eve-nin’ gets late 
-2   2  1  -1   2   -1
And I'm a-lone with you. 
 1   -2  -2  -2 
The time is right, 
 -2   3   3     3   3   -3
your per-fume fills my head, 
-3   -3   -3   4
the stars get red 
-3*  -3  -3*   -3    3   3
And, oh, the night’s so blue. 

-1   -2 -2 -2 -1    2   2   2
And then I go and spoil it all 
-1 -2  -2   -2   -1    2   2
by say-in’ some-thin’ stu-pid 
 2  -3  3   -2
Like I love you. 

1  1  -2  -2 -2  -2   3
I can see it in your eyes 
 3    3  3   -3   -3   -3  -3    4

-3*  -3   -3*  -3   3   3
You heard the night be-fore. 
-1    3     3    3   3  -3  -3 -3
And though it's just a line to you 
-3  -4  -4   -4
for me it's true 
-4  -5  -5   -5   6   -5   5   5
And nev-er seemed so right be-fore.
