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 


        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
