The Payolas - Never Said I Loved You

      
[Chorus]
G
Never said I loved you
         C              D        G
'Cause I didn't want to lower my guard
G
Never said I loved you
C       D           G
I ain't always this hot


[verse]
G
When the waiter shouts for last call
C                  D
Says her name with total recall
G
Suggests a perfect place to go
   C                 D
No human being shall ever know
G
The places I can take you to
        C          D
They've even got a skyline view

[Chorus]
      G
But I won't say I love you
         C             D        G
'Cause I don't want to lower my guard

Won't say I love you
C       D           G
I ain't always this hot


[verse]
G
She acts surprised to hear him scheme
    C                D
But answers yes just like a dream
    G
But don't forget I need respect
C                  D
Important things I must protect
   G
My reputation at the office
C                 D
Please forgive my cowardice


[Chorus]
      G
But I won't say I love you
         C            D
'Cause I only want to like you a lot
G
Won't say I love you
C       D           G
I ain't always this hot

[Break]
C G C G D


Modulate to A

[Bridge]
A
After all the groaning's over
   D                   E
He starts to smile and rolls her over
A
Another number in the book
   D                   E
He wants to ask her if she'll talk
A
I'm sorry if you've been mislead
        D                  E
But I'd rather you than an empty bed


A
Disappearing in thin air
    D                   E
She starts to smile and combs her hair
A
I hope he phones on Friday night
     D                   E
I've nothing planned and he's all right
A
Maybe we could catch a show
     D                 E
With subtle words I'll let him know


Key change back to G

[Chorus]
G
Never said I loved you
         C              D        G
'Cause I didn't want to lower my guard
G
Never said I loved you
C       D           G
I ain't always this hot


G
Never said I loved you
  C            D          G
I only want to like you a lot
G
Never said I loved you
C       D           G
I ain't always this hot


[outro]
G
Oh I never said I loved you
C            D          G
Only want to like you a lot
G
Never said I loved you
C       C           G
I ain't always this hot

G                    C                D
