G5                           
Naked and frozen at the side of a lake,
 A5                            D5
I think I've gone and made my big mistake,
G5                    E5
I took her swimming, we had a fight,
         A5                           D5
Now my clothes and the lady are well out of sight,
        C5              D5             G5    D5      E5   E5
And it looks like I'm heading for a night on__ the river,
C5         D5                E5
Under the moon and the stars,
C5                D5            G5     D5       E5
Looks like I'm heading for a night on__ the river,
       C5          G5         A5         D5          G5
(Just) me and my beating heart, singing in the dark.

 Naked and frozen at the side of a lake,
 If she was here I wouldn't hesitate,
 To tell her how, the way things are,
 With a long conversation in the back of a car,

 And it looks like I'm heading for a night on the river,
 Under the moon and the stars,
 Could be I'm heading for a night on the river,
 Just me and my beating heart, singing in the dark;

G5 - C5 - G5 - D5 - G5 - C5 - G5 - D5 - C5 - G5 - D5 - E5 - C5 - D5 - G5
Oh,----------------------------------------------------------
B5                                  
I think she owes me an explanation,
E5
She's got the whip hand in this situation,
   A5                          
If I try to tell her just the way I feel,
        D5
It could start the whole thing all over again,

     C5            D5             G5      D5     E5
Ooh, I think I'm heading for a night on__ the river,
C5          D5               E5
Under the moon and the stars,
C5             D5             G5     D5       E5
Could be I'm heading for a night on__ the river,
    C5         G5               A5       D5       G5
But I see the lights of a car, shining in the dark,

Ooh, could be we're heading for a mm-mm ,
Under the moon and the stars,
Could be we're heading for a mm-mm
Just you and me and our beating hearts,
We're singing in the dark...
