Capo I Fret

(A) I haven't been there I (F#m) haven't done that
(D) Never been one to (E) know where it's at
(A) I've been aroudn and I've (F#m) seen a few things
(D) I don't know what alot if it (E) means (D)
(A) The truth will never ring (E) clear as a bell
But, (A7) I don't believe that you (D) never can tell
(A) Most things I (B7) don't have a clue
But (D) I can tell by lookin' I know (E) all about you

(A) You don't have to put your (F#m) hand in the fire
To (D) know your little fingers are gonna get (E) burned
(A) You don't have to be (F#m) standing on the moon
To (D) know your little planet is (E) gonna get turned
(A) You don't have to take a (A7) walk in the sea
To know it (D) gets a little deep and it's (B7) really not blue
(A) I don't (E/G#) have to put my (F#m) arms all around you
To (D) know I wanna hold you and to (E) know that I love you

(A) I've never been one to (F#m) go to extremes
(D) I see 'em coming and I (E) get in between
(A) Never ahead and (F#m) never behind
(D) I figure ev'rything'll happen in (E) time (D)
And (A) just in time it's (E) happening now 
It's not (A7) up to either one of us to (D) ever know how
With (A) both eyes closed I could (B7) easily see
It's (D) happening to you and it's (E) gonna be me

(A) You don't have to put your (F#m) hand in the fire
