Full Song
Verse 1
C F C
I know I stand in line until you think you have the time
G F
To spend an evening with me
C F C
And if we go someplace to dance I know that there’s a chance
G F
You won’t be leaving with me
G F
Then afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
C G
And have a drink or two
F G C
And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid
F G C
Like ”I love you”
Chorus
F C
I can see it in your eyes
F C
That you despise the same old lines
F C
You heard the night before
F C
And though it’s just a line to you
F C G
For me it’s true and never seemed so right before
Verse 2
C F C
I practice every day to find some clever lines to say
G F
To make the meaning come through
C F
But then I think I’ll wait until the evening gets late
C G
And I’m alone with you
F C G
The time is right, your perfume fills my head, the stars get red
F G
And oh the night’s so blue
F G C
And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid
F G C
Like ”I love you”
Chorus
F C
I can see it in your eyes
F C
That you despise the same old lines
F C
You heard the night before
F C
And though it’s just a line to you
F C G
For me it’s true and never seemed so right before
Bridge
F C
I love you…
F C
I love you…
Verse 3
C F G C
And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid
F G C
Like ”I love you”
