A    A    A    A  D

[Verse 1]
A
Walking up to your street
           D               A
Rehearsing everything I'll say
A
I know I'll say it different,
      D             A
Or at least another way.

[Chorus]
A       C#7      F#m   D
So if I stay too long
              A
It's 'cause I need ya.

[Verse 2]
A
Hope that you won't make me cry
         D             A
Like you did the other night (do you remember?)
A
People stopped and stared at me
   D           A
As if I wasn't right (don't worry)

[Chorus]
A    C#7      F#m   D
If I stay too long
              A
It's 'cause I want ya (yes I do)

[Verse 3]
A
I'm nearly to your door now
       D                A
Oh, my heart beats so inside
A
I hope that you will see me
              D             A
I ain't gonna take it for a ride (no I won't)

[Chorus]
A    C#7      F#m   D
If I stay too long
              A
It's 'cause I love ya (you know I do)

[Bridge]
A    A  D  A
A    A  D  A

[Chorus]
A            C#7      F#m   D
Oh now! If I stay too long
                         A
(You know) it's 'cause I loves ya

[Verse 4]
A
Now we're sitting hand in hand,
     D                A
So relax, I'm feeling fine
A
I gotta hear it from your lips,
          D             A
Will I forget about the time? (Oh will you say?)

[Chorus]
A    C#7      F#m   D
If I stay too long
                   A
Now, now, don't be worried.
A                       C#7      F#m   D
(And will you say) if I stay too long
                             A
Now don't be worried about a thing
