E   Cdim E7   A                    C#7         D     B7
When we  are dancing, and you are dangerously near me

  Cdim   E7sus4 E7   Cdim Fdim A6   A
I get  i - de - as, I get  i - de - as;

E Cdim E7  A                    C#7      Fdim D     
I want to hold you so much closer than I dare to

  F#m     E7sus4 E7   Cdim   Fdim       E7     A6   A
I want to scold you 'cause I care more than I care to


E   Cdim E7   A                    C#7           D     B7
And when you touch me and there's fire in every finger,

  Cdim   E7sus4 E7   Cdim Fdim A6   A
I get  i - de - as, I get  i - de - as;

    E7    A7      Em7         A7        Em7      D9     D  Dm
And after we have kissed goodnight and still you lin - ger

   D9   Dm  A        F#m    E7/6  E7  A
I kind - a think you get i - de - as too


     F#m             C#7
Your eyes are always saying

     Fdim         C#7    F#m
The things you're never saying

  D9               E7sus4  E7
I only hope they're say - ing

     D9         E7      A
That you could love me too

     A     A9   A    A7 A7/9  A9 A7/9  D   Dm
For that's the whole i - de - a, it's true

    A9          F#m Cdim      E          D9   E7   A
The love - ly  idea that I've fallen in love with you.
