Somethin' Stupid
Words & Music by C. Carson ParksRecorded by Frank & Nancy Sinatra, 1967 (#1 for 4 weeks)
D D6 DM7 D
I know I stand in line until you think you have the time
Em7 G/B A7 G/B A7
To spend an evening with me;
Em7 A7 G/B A7
And if we go some place to dance, I know that there's a chance
DM7 D6 DM7 D6
You won't be leaving with me.
D D9 D7 D7/F#
Then afterward, we go into some quiet little place
GM7 G6 Gm7
And have a drink or two;
Em7 A7
And then I go and spoil it all,
Em7 A7 D
By saying something stupid, like, "I love you."
Bridge:
D D8 D
I can see it in your eyes that you despise
D7 GM7 G6
The same old lies you heard the night before;
E Bm
But though it's just a line to you,
E7 Bm7-5 A9 A A7
For me it's true, and never seemed so right before.
D D6 DM7 D
I practice every day to find some clever line to say
Em7 G/B A7 G/B A7
To make the meaning come through;
Em7 A7 G/B A7
But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late
DM7 D6 DM7 D6
And I'm alone with you.
D D9 D7
The time is right...your perfume fills my head,
D7/F# GM7 G6 Gm7
The stars get red, and, oh, the night's so blue,
Em7 A7
And then I go and spoil it all,
Em7 A7 Em7 D Gm7
By saying something stupid, like, "I love you."
Coda:
A7 Em7 D Gm7 A7 Em7 D
I love you I love you.
