[Verse 1]
F F/G C C
Do you remember the night the lights went out
F F/G C C
all along the promenade?
F F/G C C
It started to rain, my coat, your dress got wet,
Am G G
we laughed 'til we almost cried.
[Verse 2]
F F/G C C
Your spirit was so contagious,
F F/G C C
our timing really bad.
F F/G C C
You were so outrageous,
Am G G
how could we hold back?
[Chorus]
Am G F F
The secret is to know when to stop,
Am G F F
the secret is to know when to stop,
Am G F F
the secret is to know when to stop,
Em F G C C
remembering, ...

[Verse 3]
F F/G C C
Do you remember the night that we ran out,
F F/G C C
out on the English Bay?
F F/G C C
We went out on the water,
Am G G
the tow almost pulled us away.
[Verse 4]
F F/G C C
Man, right there the sparks would fly,
F F/G C C
we'd get into such a mess.
F F/G C C
Our timing really stunk back then
Am G G
we didn't give a damn what they thought, I guess.
[Chorus]
Am G F F
The secret is to know when to stop,
Am G F F
the secret is to know when to stop,
Am G F F
the secret is to know when to stop,
Em F G
remembering, ...
[Bridge]
F G
And maybe when the skies flew open,
Am G
right then the lines would be broken.
F G
Your eyes they did all the talking,
Am G G
keep your heart open wide.

[Verse 5]
F F/G C C
Can you remember the trip we took
F F/G C C
in the Malibu to the west coast?
F F/G C C
We drove through a rainbow up on Roger's Pass,
Am G G
they never thought you'd get that close.
[Chorus]
Am G F F
The secret is to know when to stop,
Am G F F
the secret is to know when to stop,
Am G F F
the secret is to know when to stop,
Em F G
remembering, ...
[Chorus]
Am G F F
The secret is to know when to stop,
Am G F F
the secret is to know when to stop,
Am G F F
the secret is to know when to stop,
Em F G
remembering, ...
[End-Chorus]
Am G F F
The secret is to know when to stop (The secret is to know when to stop),
Am G F F
the secret is to know when to stop (The secret is to know when to stop),
Am G F F
the secret is to know when to stop (The secret is to know when to stop),
Em F G C
remembering, ...
