[A] [Em] So take my [Am] strong advice
[A] Just [Em] remember to always think twice
[Em] Oh, think [Em] twice
She [Bm] told my baby [Em] we danced till three and she [D] looked at [Em] me
In [Bm] the shoulder photo, [Em] baby cried his eyes were [A] like [Am] mine

[Am] [Em] [D] [E] [C]
People always told [Em] me, me tell what you do
