[Em] [A] [D] [C#m] [D]
[E] [Bm] [E] [A] If I keep on talking now, I'll only [Bm] start [E] repeating [F#m] myself
And all [E] I can say
[C#m] [Bm] Is I love you, [F#] I love you, [Bm] I love you, I love you
[A] If I slip and tip my hand
I'm certain [D] to [E] scare you [F#m] away
[D] What would [E] I say
[A#] I'd [Bm] be hurting [E] I'm [F#] certain
[G] [A] I'd be uncool to let [D] you know that [E] you're the one
[F#m] fool who [D] jumped the gun
[Am] [Bm]
[G] I've been advised by [F#m] other guys you left [E] behind
[D] Your goodbyes are [F#] somewhat unrefined
[F#m] [G#] But [A] if I play my role just right
Night could [Bm] be my [E] lucky [F#m] night
[C#m] [D] And you could be [E] mine
[F#] [Bm] If I presented [G] to you
[G#m] with a flower in the [C#] moonlight
[F#] shiny [B] and new
[Bm] Where you couldn't [A] say no
[D] tonight
If I keep [C#m] my heart [B] out of sight
[F#]
[Bm] [A] [F#m] [E]
[F#m] [A] [E] [A]
[Em] [A] [F#m] [E] [F#m]
[E] [F#m] [E] [A] If I play my role just right
Then tonight [Bm] could be [E] my [F#m] lucky [A] night
[D]
And you could [E] be mine
[F#] If [Bm] I presented [G] to you
[G#m] With a flower in the moonlight.
[F#] Oh
shiny and [B] new
[Bm] Where you couldn't [A] say no
[D] tonight
If I keep [C#m] my heart out of [F#] sight
[N]
