G                G6             Gmaj7              G
1. I know I stand in line, until you think you have the time
               Am7          D7   Am7 D7
   To spend an evening with me    
       Am7          D7
   And if we go someplace to dance,
     Am7                 D7
   I know that there's a chance
                G              G6 Gmaj7 G6
   You won't be leaving with me.
   
       G7
   And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
              Cmaj7       Es
   And have a drink or two.
       Am7           D7
   And then I go and spoil it all,
      Am7             D7
   by saying something stupid
            G
   Like: "I love you"
   
         G7
R: I can see it in your eyes,
   that you despise the same old lies
       Cmaj7
   You heard the night before
       A7
   And though it's just a line to you, for me it's true
                      D7
   It never seemed so right before
   
2. I practice every day to find some clever lines to say
   To make the meaning come through
   But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late
   And I'm alone with you
   
   The time is right your perfume fills my head,
   the stars get red
   And oh the night's so blue
   And then I go and spoil it all,
   by saying something stupid
   Like: I love you
   ("I love you, I love you,...")
