Verse 1
[D]
I know I stand in line until you think
[Em] [A] [Em] [A]
You have the time to spend an evening with me.
[Em] [A] [Em]
And if we go someplace to dance I know that
[A] [D]
There's a chance you won't be leaving with me.
Chorus
[D7]
And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
[G] [Bb]
And have a drink or two...
[Em] [A] [Em]
And then I go and spoil it all by saying
[A] [D]
Something stupid, like I love you.
Bridge
[D7]
I can see it in your eyes that you despise
[G]
The same old lines you heard the night before.
[E] [E7]
And though it's just a line to you for me it's true
[A] [A7#5]
And never seemed so right before.
Verse 2
[D]
I practice everyday to find some clever lines
[Em] [A] [Em] [A]
To say to make the meaning come true.
[Em] [A] [Em] [A]
But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late
[D]
And I'm alone with you.
Chorus
[D7]
The time is right your perfume fills my head
[G] [Bb]
The stars get red and oh, the night's so blue.
[Em] [A] [Em]
And then I go and spoil it all by saying
[A7] [D]
Something stupid like I love you.
[Musical Interlude]
[D]
[Em] [A] [Em] [A]
[Em] [A] [Em] [A]
[D]
Chorus
[D7]
The time is right your perfume fills my head
[G] [Bb]
The stars get red and oh, the night's so blue.
[Em] [A] [Em]
And then I go and spoil it all by saying
[A7] [D] [Bb]
Something stupid like I love you.
Outro
[D] [Bb]
I love you...
[D] [Bb]
I love you...
[D] [Bb]
I love you...
