[Intro]  D   E7   A   D   A  E7  
[Verse 1]
AI’ve never done anything that would ever bring a Dtear to your eye
EI’ve never crossed the line or needed an alibi to Acover up a lieBm  
But Adarlin’ I’ll admit there’ve been times when DI could have
EThe thing that kept me strong 
Was the one thing that is always Aon my minE7d…
[Chorus]
When I think about Dcheatin’
I just think about Ayou leavin’
And how my world would falBml to pieces
If I tossed your love Eaway
Even when I’m Atempted by some Dstranger

[Verse 2]
There was a Atime in Abilene 
When he said all the things I Dwanted to hear
It was Ehard to turn him down 
Between the champagne and the sound of Awhispers in my earBm  
ABut it just took one two step with someone
And DI was Amissin’ Bmyou
I Enever had a chance cause I broke up the dance
BeAfore the song was E7through…
[Chorus]
When I think about Dcheatin’
I just think about Ayou leavin’
And how my world would falBml to pieces
If I tossed your love Eaway
Even when I’m Atempted by some Dstranger
Oh there’s never any C#mdangerF#m  
I just think about you BmleavC#min’D  
When I think about BmcheaAtin’E  
And when I’m tempted by some Dstranger
Oh there’s never any C#mdangerF#m
