 Now the  evening has  come to a  close
 And I've had my last  dance with  you
 On  to the empty  streets we  go
 And it might  be my last chance with  you
 So I might as  well get it  over
 The  things I have to  say
  * +7
 won't wait un- til an- other day
 You're a lady,  I'm a  man,
 you're sup-  posed to  understand
 How these things are  often  planned
 to  be
 You're romantic,  I'm a  fool,
 You're the  teacher,  I've come to  school
 Here I sit and  hope that  you'll  love
 me
 You're pure magic,  unlock my  chain
 Nothing  ventured  nothing  gained
 And so I say with  no re-  straint,
 be  mine,  be  mine
 Hard to  answer  I a-  gree
 But then I've  got to  know
 I'm not  asking you  to marry  me,
 Just a little  love to  show
 Oh I  know I could make you  happy
 The  things I have to  say
  * +7
 won't wait un- til an- other day
 You're a lady,  I'm a  man,
 you're sup-  posed to  understand
 How these things are  often  planned
 to  be
 You're romantic,  I'm a  fool,
 You're the  teacher,  I've come to  school
 Here I sit and  hope that  you'll  love
 me
 You're pure magic,  unlock my  chain
 Nothing  ventured  nothing  gained
 And so I say with  no re-  straint,
 be  mine,  be  mine

[Am]   Now the [B7]  evening has [Em]  come to a [A7]  close

[Am]   On [B7]  to the empty [Em]  streets we [A7]  go
[Amadd4]      And it might[D7/F#]     be my last chance with [G7sus4]      you [G]
[C9]   So I might as [C7]  well get it  [F] over   [Fm]

[C]  You're pure magic, [F#m]    unlock my  [B] chain [B7sus2]
[Em]    Nothing [Em7]   ventured [A7]  nothing  [A7b13]     gained  [A7]
[Dm7]    And so I say with [Dm6]    [Ab]   no re- [E7]   [Ab]   straint, [E11]     [Ab]
be [C]  mine, [Fbm]    be  [C]  mine [Bm7]       [E7]

[Am]   Hard to  [B7]  answer  [Em]   I a-  [A7]  gree
[Amadd4]       But then I've [D7/F#]      got to  [G7sus4]     know   [G]
[Am]   I'm not [B7]  asking you [Em]  to marry [A7]  me,
