WE REALLY SHOULDN'T BE DOIN' THIS

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

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

Won't even think about a (F#7) goodbye kiss
