Verse 1:
FF             E7E7    Am7Am7
It's time for me to be on my way I know
     DmDm
I've got business to conduct
       F/AF/A    GsusGsus G+G
And I've got places to go
G/F      FF          E7E7     Am7Am7
  But I can't help looking at her sleeping instead
    Dm7Dm7                F/AF/A     G+G
Another morning I'll have trouble climbing out of this bed

Chorus:
F/GF/G   C majorC    C majorC  DmDm C/EC/E  FF  G+G   F/GF/G
Because - she's such a  temp - ta - tion
C majorC   C majorC   DmDm  C/EC/E FF   G+G  F/GF/G
 It's dri - ving me  cra - zy
C majorC     C majorC DmDm  C/EC/E FF  G+G
 And it's my fas - ci - na - tion
    A minorAm           D MajorD G/DG/D D MajorD
That's making me act this way ---
  Am7Am7          D MajorD G/DG/D FF
And I know what all of my friends say
    C/GC/G            G+G
They're afraid that I'm losing my touch
            G/C C majorC
But she's such a temp - ta - tion

Verse 2:
FF            E7E7       Am7Am7
I look so tired cause I don't get much sleep
       DmDm              F/AF/A     GsusGsus G+G
And I've got too many commitments that are too hard to keep
   FF            E7E7    Am7Am7
And I try to be rational and I try to be wise
    Dm7Dm7               F/AF/A     G+G
But it all gets blown to pieces when I look in her eyes

 And no - thing can save me
C majorC    C majorC   DmDm  C/EC/E  FF  G+G
 But I might find sal - va - tion
  Am7Am7        D MajorD G/DG/D D MajorD
If I can tear myself away
   Am7Am7          D MajorD G/DG/D FF
Cause I know what all of my friends say
     C/GC/G          G+G
There's a danger in wanting too much
            G/C C majorC
But she's such a temp - ta - tion

I should be leaving but I can't cut loose
     DmDm              F/AF/A    GsusGsus G+G
I have my reasons for resistance but I have no excuse
   G/F    FF       E7E7     Am7Am7
And I lose my composure I could use some restraint
    Dm7Dm7            F/AF/A    G+G    C majorC
I never claimed to be a hero and I never said I was a saint
