(B flat major) Maybe this won't (C minor) last very long

(B flat major) I had second (C minor) thoughts at the start
I (D7) said to myself
Hold (E flat major) on to your heart
(G minor) Now I know the (C minor) woman that you are
You're (F7) wonderful so far
And it's (B flat7) more than I hoped for

(E flat major) I (G minor/D) don't (C minor) care (B flat major) what
(A flat major) consequence it (E flat major) brings
(E flat major) I (G minor/D) have (C minor) been (B flat major) a (F/A) fool for lesser (B flat major) things
(G major) I want you (C minor) so bad
(B flat/D) I think you (E flat major) ought to (E flat7/G) know that
(A flat major) I intend to (F minor) hold you for the (B flat7) longest (E flat major) time
