A F#m B E
Didn’t I say I wasn’t ready for romance
A F#m B E
Didn’t we promise we would only be friends
D Bm E F#m
And so we danced, though it was only a slow dance
D Bm E A
I started breaking my promises right there and then
F#m B E
Didn’t I swear there would be no complications
A F#m B E
Didn’t you want someone who’s seen it all before
D Bm E F#m
Now that you’re here, it’s not the same situation
D Bm E A
Suddenly I don’t remember the rules anymore
F C/E F/A C/G
This night is mine
F C/E Dm G C
It’s on-ly you and I
Bb Am D7
Tomorrow is a long time away
Gm C Gm/Bb F
This night can last forever

I’ve been around, someone like me should know better

How many nights have I been lonely without you

I tell myself how much I really don’t care

How many nights have I been thinking about you

Wanting to hold you but knowing you would not be there

This night you’re mine

It’s on-ly you and I
