Intro Em  Am  C  B7  
        Em  Am  C  B7  

Em               Am 
Kiss me before I run away 
        C             B7        Em 
Cause I have no other reason to stay 
Em               Am 
Listen to what I have to say 
        C              B7        Em 
There's no one I would tell this anyway 

C                 
I'll find my own shelter 
Am        
It could be our home if you're after 
Em                             G 
Some place to hide and to feel safe 
Am 
All that I'm truly asking  
C 
Is just a bit of acting 
Em                            B7 
Don't just throw my dreams to waste  
C               B7         Em 
There's nothing wrong with me 

( Em  Am  C  B7 ) 
( Em  Am  C  B7 ) 

    Em                 Am 
You tempt me to try to dance 
            C           B7         Em   
Even though I'm no dancer I took a chance 
Em               Am 
Clearly you like my intentions 
   C                   G              B7 
So please be rational, don't question my ways 

C                 
I'll find my own shelter 
Am        
It could be our home if you're after 
Em                             G 
Some place to hide and to feel safe 
Am 
All that I'm truly asking  
C 
Is just a bit of acting 
Em                            B7 
Don't just throw my dreams to waste  
C               B7             C               B7         Em 
There's nothing wrong with me, there's nothing wrong with me
