Tom: G

         G                     
1. I know I stand in line, until you think you have the time
                        Am       D - Am - D7
    to spend an evening with me.
           Am                                                 D7
    And if we go someplace to dance, I know that there's a chance
                           G
    you won't be leaving with me.
            G7                                                            C
    And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place and have a drink or two.
             Am                   D               Am            D7
    And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid
                 G
    like: "I love you".
              G7
    I can see it in your eyes, that you despise the same old lies
                             C
    you heard the night before.
              A                                         A7
    And though it's just a line to you, for me it's true,
                               D                - D7
   it never seemed so right before.
         G
3. I practice every day to find some clever lines to say,
                         Am        D - Am - D7
    to make the meaning come true.
          Am                                        D7                     G
    But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late, and I'm alone with you.
         G7
The time is right, your perfume fills my head, the stars get red,
                       C         Am- A
and, oh, the night's so blue.
          Am                     D                Am       D7
And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid
              G                              G - Am -D - Am - D7    /   Am - D7 - G
like: "I love you",     +       Instr.:       (Verse 3, lines 1 - 4)
                               G         - A - D
    + REFRAIN + "I love you" .........
