Intro:

Am Am/B C C/D F F1 [two times]

Am Am/B C F F1

This is the place where I made my best mistakes

Am Am/B C D

This is the place even angels don't understand

Am Am/B C F

I've seen the disappointment in her face

D Bm C D

And the collection of engagement rings on her right hand

Am Am/B C F F1

She sits alone apart from the crowd

Am Am/B C D

In a white dress she wears like a question mark

Am Am/B C

Friends speak of her fondly

F

Enemies just think out loud

D Bm

You think you're man enough to please her

C D

And you're fool enough to start

G C G

You're not going to do a thing to our little angel

D C D

There's nothing you're thinking tonight that tomorrow won't change

Now the cabaret is frozen and the laughter comes in cans

And the lonely hearts club clientele don't know what to do

with their hands

You think that you'll be sweet to her but everybody knows

That you're the marshmallow valentine that got stuck on her clothes

You're not going to do a thing to our little angel

F

There's nothing you're thinking tonight that tomorrow won't change

[Chords through solo:]

D D G D A A G C A

So you mix your drinks and words

You make bad jokes you make bad time

The floors are there to walk over

The walls are there to climb

You swear you'll never go back again once you're inside

You're never the bridegroom she's always the bride

You're not going to do a thing to our little angel

There's nothing you're thinking tonight that tomorrow won't change

G C G

You'll come in a sweetheart and you'll go out a stranger

D

Well you try to love her but she's so contrary

Like a chainsaw running through a dictionary

C D G

So get your mind off the sweet behind of our little angel

G

You're not going to do a thing

You're not going to do a thing

Em D G

You're not going to do a thing to our little angel
