|Em |C |D |D | 4x


[Verse]
Em
 One look in your innocent eyes
        C                        Am
And I knew you had to be the one
Em
 You walked out of all of my dreams
        C                              Am
Never thought the day would really come


[Pre-Chorus]
Am
 I've been standing in a long desperate line
Em
 Waiting for somebody like you
Am
 I may only be wasting my time
C                         D
 Don't know what else to do


[Chorus]
        Em
If you turn me away
         C
Just be careful what you say
 D
Girl, you've got my heart on the line
          Em
Don't be mean, don't be cruel
            C
Don't you treat me like a fool
 D
Girl, you've got my heart on the line


[Instrumental]

[Verse]
Em
 It's too late to be wishing I was
        C                        Am
In somebody else's shoes this time
Em
 I'm tied up, like a slave to a chain
  C                            Am
Praying that you'll please be kind


[Pre-Chorus]
Am
 If it's true that love's a disease
Em
 Baby, I'm a dangerous case
Am
 I beg for mercy, got me down on my knees
C                            D
 You've got a smile on your face


[Chorus]
        Em
If you turn me away
         C
Just be careful what you say
 D                                D
Girl, you've got my heart on the line
          Em
Don't be mean, don't be cruel
            C
Don't you treat me like a fool
 D                                D
Girl, you've got my heart on the line


[Solo]
|Em |C |D |D |


[Bridge]
C
 I don't want to stay
      D
In my own little world
C
 So if you want to play
D
 Won't you show me, little girl
