G
There's no need to lie
                G7             C
Without me half trying I could love you
   A7
It shows in your eyes
                      D7
You feel the same way I do

G
But wherever I go my conscience goes
C         Em    A7
What more can I say
G                D7
It's only desire not yet a fire
      G
Let's keep it that way

        D7    G               C          G
Cause I don't want to have to tell him a lie
                C
When I get back home
               G              C          G
Cause it would tear apart his fairy tale world
             C
If I did him wrong

G
And lying to him would hurt me more
C            Em       A7
Than leaving you this way
   G                      D7
So before we forget we're not cheaters yet
      G
Let's keep it that way


Let's finish this wine
                           C
Cause I'm not thinking too clearly tonight
    A7
The touch of your hand
                                D7
Makes it so hard for me to tell wrong from right

G
He waits at home he's there alone
C          Em          A7
And though I'd like to stay
  G                    D7
Before I give in let's call it just friends
    G
And keep it that way

Repeat #3,4
