      A 
I've never done anything  
A/C#                     D 
That would ever bring a tear to your eye  
      E  
I've never crossed the line  
                       A             Fdim 
Or needed an alibi to cover up a lie 
A                                              D 
But darlin I'll admit, there's been times when I could have 
         E 
But the thing that kept me strong  
                                A          E 
Is the one thing that is always on my mind  

                    D 
When i think about cheating 
                        A  
I just think about you leavin 
                        Bm  
And how my world would fall to pieces 
                            E  
If I tossed your love away  
               A      A/C#     D 
Even when I'm tempted by some stranger  
                     C#m    F#m 
Oh there's never any danger  
                       Bm  A/C#   D 
I just think about you le---av---ing 
                    D   A 
When I think about cheating  
 
 
E 
 
             A 
There was a time in Abilene 
     A/C#                      D  
When he said all the things I wanted to hear  
        E 
It was hard to turn him down  
                                        A                 Fdim 
Between the champagne and the sound of whispers in my ear 
A 
But it just took one  
A/C#                      D     A/C#    Bm 
Two-step with someone and I was missing you  
E 
He never had a chance, cause I broke up the dance  
A                      E 
Before the song was through 
 
 
REPEAT CHORUS 
 
              A      A/C#     D 
And when I'm tempted by some stranger  
                     C#m    F#m 
Oh there's never any danger  
                       Bm  A/C#   D 
I just think about you le---av---ing 
                    D   A 
When I think about cheating 
 
 
Outro:  D  E  A  D  A
