_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Last night _ all _ alone _ [Ab] at a party _ I _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ met a man _ with a drink in [Bb] his _ _ hand.
_ He _ _ _ [Eb] had _ _ soft _ brown eyes _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ and cold black hair _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] and a smile that [Bb] a girl _ _ could [Eb] _ _ understand. _
[Cm] [Bb] Then _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] he came and [Db] sat down [Eb] _ _
[Ab] at the table _
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ and placed his warm hand _ _ _
_ [Bb] on _ _ mine. _ _ _ _
I [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
[Db] kept myself wanting, _ [Ab] _
longing to kiss him, yes I did.
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb]
For a temptation _ _
_ [Bb] was flowing _
_ [Eb] like _ _ _ wine. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] Last night he died.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ Just stripped myself.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _

[D] _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] Last night he died.
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] He pushed my _
_ [Bb] old conscience right [Eb] on the side.
_ [D] _
[Db] _ [C] _ Then _ _
_ [F] we danced. _
_ _ He whispered, _ [Bb] baby I need you now.
_ _ _ _ _
He [F] said to me, let me take you away.
_ _ Oh, I want to [C] be your _ man. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] Then I looked in his eyes _ _ _ _ _ and [Bb] I saw it, yeah I saw it. _ _ _
I saw [F] the reflection _ _ [C] of my _ _ _ wedding [F] _ _ veil.
_ [C] Oh, _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] I'm swayed by his authority.
[Eb] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] To let a strange lip, _ _ somebody's lip, [E] lure [C] me, lure me on. _ _ _ _
Oh, [Bb] _ _ [F] I'm drawn _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [F]
to _ [Bb] his lady.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] Your sweet love made [C] me stop, made me stop [Dm] and go [Bb] on.
