Rhythm tips ↓-↓↑

[Am] [D7] [Am] [D7] [G] [G] I [G]know I stand in [Em7]line until you [G7]think you have the [G]time To spend an [Am]evening with [D7]me [Am] [D7] And [Am]if we go some [D7]place to dance I [Am]know that there’s a [D7]chance

You won’t be [G7]leaving with [Em7]me [G7] And [G]afterwards we [Dm7]drop into a [G7]quiet little place and have a [C7]drink or two [D#] And [Am]then I go and [D7]spoil it all by [Am]saying something [D7]stupid Like I [G]love you

I can [G7]see it in your [Dm7]eyes that you des[G7]pise The same old lines you heard the [C7]night before And [A7]though it’s just a [Em7]line to you for [A7]me it’s true And never seemed so [Am]right be[D7]fore [Am] [D7]

I [G]practise every [Em7]day to find some [G7]clever lines to [G]say To make the [Am]meaning come [D7]true [Am] [D7] But [Am]then I think I’ll [D7]wait until the [Am]evening gets [D7]late and I’m [G7]alone with [Em7]you [G7]

The [G]time is right your [Dm7]perfume fills my [G7]head The stars get red and oh the [C7]night’s so blue [D#] And [Am]then I go and [D7]spoil it all by [Am]saying something [D7]stupid Like I [G]love you

The [G]time is right your [Dm7]perfume fills my [G7]head The stars get red and oh the [C7]night’s so blue [D#] And [Am]then I go and [D7]spoil it all by [Am]saying something [D7]stupid Like I [G]love you [D#]
