[G] [C] [G] [C]
[E] [Ab] [E] [Ab]
[F] It's time for me to [E] be on my way
[A] I know [Dm] I got business to [F] conduct and I got places [G] to go
But I [F] can't help looking [E] at her sleeping [Am]
instead
[Dm] Another morning I'll have trouble climbing out [G] of this bed
[C] because
She's such [F] a temptation
[G]
[C] It's driving [F] me [G]
crazy
[C] And it's my [F] [G] fascination
[Am] That's making me act [D] this way
I [Am] know what all of [D] my [F] friends say
[G] They're afraid [C] that I'm losing [G] my touch
She's such a [C] temptation
[G] [C]
[E] [Ab] [E] [Ab]
[F] I look so tired
[E] Cause I don't get [Am] much sleep
[Dm] I got too many commitments
[F] That are too hard [G] to keep
[F] And I try to be rational
[E] And I try to [Am] be wise
[Dm] But it all gets blown to pieces
[F] When I look in [G] her eyes
[C] Cause she's such [F] a [G] temptation
[C] That [F] nothing can [G] save [C] me
But I might [F] find [G] salvation
[Am] If I can tear myself [D] away
Cause [Am] I know what all of [D] my friends [F]
say
[C] There's a danger in wanting [G] too much
Cause she's such a [C] temptation
[G] [C]
[E] [Ab] [E] [Ab]
[G] [C] [G] I [C]
[E] [Ab] [E]
[F] should be leaving
[E] But I can't cut [Am] it loose
I [Dm] have my reasons [F] for resistance
But I have no [G]
excuse
That I lose my [F] composure
[E] I could use some [Am]
restraint
[Dm] I never claimed to be a hero
[F] And I never [G] said I was [C] a saint
She's such [F] a [G] temptation
[C] And it's driving [F] me [G]
crazy
[C] And it's my [F] [G] fascination
[Am] That's making me act [D] this way
[Am] And I can just hear all [D] my [F] friends say
[C] Better watch out, you're losing [G] your touch
She's such a [C] temptation
[G] [C]
[E] [Ab] Yes she is
[E] [Ab] She's such [C] a temptation
[G] [C]
Yes [E] she is
[Ab] Oh yes [E] she is
She's such [Gm] a temptation
[F] [G] [C]
