Right away you're thinkin' 'bout romance now

Bm/A
You know you ought to take it slower
A
But you just can't wait to get to know her

D A/C# Bm A G#m7-5 C#7 F#m A7/E
A brand new love affair is such a beautiful thing
D A/C# Bm A G#m7-5 C#7 F#m
But if you're not careful think about the pain it can bring

C#7/G#
It makes you feel so bad
F#m/A
It makes your heart feel sad
C#7/B
It makes your days go wrong
C#m7
It makes your nights so long
E7/D [bass: slide high D (G string, 19th fret) down]
You've got to keep in mind

Chorus:

A /G D/F# Dm/F A/E D/A
Love is here today
A /G D/F# Dm/F A/E D/A
And it's gone tomorrow
A /G D/F# Dm/F E7
It's here and gone so fast

(bass doubled w/piano):

(E7)

Verse 2:

Right now you think that she's perfection
This time is really an exception
Well, you know I hate to be a downer
But I'm the guy she left before you found her

Well, I'm not sayin' you won't have a good love with her
But I keep on rememberin' things like they were

She made me feel so bad
She made my heart feel sad
She made my days go wrong
And made my nights so long
You've got to keep in mind

[repeat chorus and bass/piano riff]
