E                                                         B7
Angry words were spoken and I left my baby in a cloud of gloom
                                                        E
Got into my car and drove around until I spotted this saloon
                                                                  A
Came inside and bought a drink then I saw you and felt a burning glow
B7                                                            E
Got the urge to hold you tight but if I try refuse me tell me no
 
E                           F#
Step aside if I try to get near you 
      B7                           E
Lock your heart if I start making time
                           F#
Walk away if I say that I need you 
      B7                     E
Step aside if I step out of line
 
E                                                             B7
Bitter is my feelings for my baby and the things she said so cruel
                                                                  E
Half of me says cheat on her but part of me says stop don't be a fool
                                                              A
Don't let me get close to you cause if I do I won't be very strong
B7                                                            E
Save me from my conscience and keep me from being sorry later on
 
E                           F#
Step aside if I try to get near you 
      B7                           E
Lock your heart if I start making time
                          F#
Walk away if I say that I need you 
      B7                     E
Step aside if I step out of line
