G G7 C Then she came and sat down at my table G D And as she placed her soft hand in mine G G7 C I found myself wanting to kiss her G D G D7 For temp- tation was flowing like wine. G G7 C And I was al- per- suaded G D7 To strip myself of my pride G G7 C Al- most per- suaded G D7 G E7 To push my conscience a- side. ... CHANGE TO A: A A7 D Then we danced and she whispered, "I need you! A E Take me a- way from here and be my man." A A7 D Then I looked into her eyes and I saw it A E7 A E7 The re- flection of my wedding band. A A7 D And I was al- most per- suaded A E to let strange lips lead me on A A7 D al- most per- suaded A E7 D A But your sweet love made me stop and go home.
