Standard (EADGBE)

And the drummer hits the beat

and the guitar sings the chords

The singer starts to sing

and I move a little bit closer

I made a promise to myself

 never to go near you again

 never to go near you again

Chorus

 I said I'll go anywhere but there

 Said I will go anywhere but there

Anywhere but there

 Said I will go anywhere but there

 It’s now or never I cannot choose not to

 It’s now or never I cannot choose not to

 May I dance with you, may I hold you close

 may I touch your breast, and make love to you

 May I make a terrible mistake with you

 may I make a wonderful mistake with you

(Chorus)

Oh, I recognize the smell

and I recognize this voice

and I recognize this breath

but I don’t recognize this choice

I made a promise to myself

 never to go near you again

 never to go near you again

(Chorus)

 It’s now or never I cannot choose not to

 It’s now or never I cannot choose not to

 May I dance with you, may I hold you close

 may I touch your breast, and make love to you

 May I make a terrible mistake with you

 may I make a wonderful mistake with you

(Chorus)
