(Original Key: B)
Verse 1:
Am
It starts with,
Just a little glance, now,
G
Right away,
You're thinkin' 'bout romance now.
Am
You know you ought to take it slower,
G
But you just can't wait,
To get to know her.
Bridge 1:
C C/B Am G F#m7b5
A brand new love a-ffair,
B7 Em G7
Is such a beautiful thing.
C C/B Am G
But if you're not care-ful,
F#m7b5 B7 Em
Think about the pain it can bring.
Break:
B7
It makes you feel so bad,
Em/G
It makes your heart feel sad,
B7
It makes your days go wrong,
Bm7
It makes your nights so long.
D7
You've got to keep in mind;
Chorus 1:
G C/E D
Love is here,
C/G
To-day,
G C/E D
And it's gone,
C/G G
To-morrow it's here,
C/E D7
And gone so fast.
Verse 2:
Am
Right now,
You think that she's perfection,
G
This time is really an exception.
Am
Well you know I hate to be a downer,
G
But I'm the guy she left,
Before you found her.
Bridge 2:
C C/B Am G
Well, I'm not say-ing,
F#m7b5 B7 Em G7
You won't have good luck with her.
C C/B Am G
But I keep on re-membering,
F#m7b5 B7 Em
Things like they were.
Break:
