[Strophe]
  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.
[Refrain]
    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.
[Pont]
      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.
[Strophe]
  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.
[Refrain]
    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.
[Interlude]
[Refrain]
    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...
