| F  F/G   C |            | F  F/G   C |            |
| F  F/G   C |            | Am         |
| G          | G          |

[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.

[Interlude]

[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),
