A7Please put your Drings on a diff'rent finger if you A7meet me tonight
'Cause I can't stand those suspicious glances
'Cause I know the things they're saying are Dright
They're D7saying Gwhy don't you straighten up
And see what you've got to lose
CPut it all down to fate but you still got the chance to choosGe
GI don't want to hear your Fwhole life Cstory
Or aAbout my strange resemblance to some old DflameD7  
GAll I want is one Fnight of Cglory
DI don't even know your second nameG

'cause we've B7got so much at stake
I can't stand those suspicious glances
'Cause they seem to cover ev'ry move I Emake
E7But if I Acan be alone with you comEpletely tonight
Put your rings Bon a diff'rent finger
