Intro: (E) (E) (B) (B) (F#m) (A) (B) (E)

I (E) knew where the night was going when (B) I first saw you smile
But this (F#m) tired old get to (A) know you routine (E) takes a little (B) while
We'll (E) talk about fads and fashion - (B) that's a good place to start
And I (F#m) know we'll wind up (A) talking about our (E) astrological (B) charts
So (F#m) come on let's get (A) started - if we're (E/B) gonna break my (E) heart

  Let's be(B)gin with I don't know you (E) well
  And move (B) on to I really better (E) not
  By (A) midnight we should (B) be close en(E)ough so that (A) we
  Could get (E) started if we're (B) gonna break my (E) heart

(E) (E) (B) (B) (F#m) (A) (B) (E)

Just a little more conversation, cause we're playing by the rules
We'll tell each other - how some other - made us feel like fools
Now here's where we gotta go easy - so we won't upset the cart
We'll talk about books and movies and Norman Rockwell art
By then you should be ready to start to break my heart

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(SOLO)

  By (A) midnight we should (B) be close en(E)ough so that (A) we
  Could get (E) started if we're (B) gonna break my (E) heart
