Vox on the low 3 5 5 5 5 6 on “I know I stand in line”
| E | E6 | E | E6 | |
| I | know I stand in | line until you | think you have the t | ime to spend an |
| F#m | B | F#m | B |
| Evening with me |
| F#m | B | F#m | B | |
| And | if we go some | place to dance I | know that there’s a c | hance |
| E | E6 | E | E6 | |
| You won’t be | leaving with me |
| E9 | |
| And | afterwards we drop into a quiet little place |
The second chord here is a bVI in the original, I prefer a iv
| A | Am | |
| And have a | drink or two |
| F#m | B | F#m | B | |
| And | then I go and | spoil it all by | saying something st | upid |
| E | E6 | E | E6 | |
| Like I | love you |
| E9 | |
| I can | see it in your eyes that you despise the same old lines |
| A | |
| You heard the | night before |
| F# | C#m7 | F# | |
| And | though it’s just a | line to you for | me it’s true |
| C#m7 | B | |
| And n | ever seemed so | right before |
| E | E6 | E | E6 | |
| I | practice every d | ay to find some c | lever lines to s | ay |
| F#m | B | F#m | B | |
| To make the | meaning come true |
| F#m | B | F#m | B | |
| But | then I think I’ll | wait until the | evening gets l | ate |
| E | E6 | E | E6 | |
| And I’m | alone with you |
| E9 | |
| The | time is right your perfume fills my head the stars get red |
| A | Am | |
| And on the | nights so blue |
| F#m | B | F#m | B | |
| And | then I go and | spoil it all by | saying something st | upid |
| E | E6 | E | E6 | |
| Like I | love you |
