  			We really shouldn't be (F#7) doin' this                
And we both know (B) why                            
Just bein' close enough to (F#7)think like this                           
Enough to make you need to (B) lie                                
This kind of talk will lead us (B7) to somewhere                              
We're getting way too close to (E) goin' there (C#m7) 
The farther off, the better (F#7) to resist                       
We really shouldn't be (B) doin' this 
               
Only an isolated (F#7) incident                        
But the aquainence left me (B) stunned                               
The first attraction was the (F#7) hardest hit                         
I thought I'd ever over(B)come                         
This kind of situation (B7) has to pass                               
This chance encounter has to (E) be the last (C#m7)  
To take it farther we would (F#7) be remiss         
We really shouldn't be (B) doin' this 
 
Solo 
     
We'd each be hurtin' some(B7)body else 
If we don't say our good(E)byes real fast (C#m7) 
Won't even think about a (F#7) farwell kiss 
We really shouldn't be (B) doin' this 
                                
Well----(No Chord), We really shouldn't be (F#7) doin' this               
And we both know (B) why                           
Just bein' close enough to (F#7)  think like this                          
Enough to make me have to (B) lie                              
This kind of talk can lead us (B7) to somewhere                                 
We're getting way too close to (E) goin' there (C#7)                               
The farther off, the better (F#) to resist                        
We really shouldn't be (B) doin' this                    
 
This kind of situation (B7) has to pass                               
This chance encounter has to (E) be the last (C#m7) 
To take it farther we would (F#7) be remiss                        
We really shouldn't be (B) doin' this                           
Won't even think about a (F#7) goodbye kiss                         
We really shouldn't be (B) doin' this
