[Pickup on G]

INTRO: [C] [C] [FFFAm] [G] [C] [C] [FFFAm] [G]

The sign says [C]"Do Not Touch" - you're [C]out of bounds

You're for-[Am]bidden fruit, [Am]don't come around

It says [F]don't make plans, [F]'cause on your hand

Is a [C]promise made to a-[G]nother man.

Cause [F]when you're around, my de-[F]fenses go down

Feelings get stronger, [C]looks get longer

The [F]closer you come, the [F]weaker I get

If it [G]ain't happened now, it just [G]ain't happened yet.

So please, please, please [F]go. I'm not [G]strong enough to say [C]no.

Please, please, don't [F]stay. I'm not [G]man enough to walk a-[C]way.

Please, please pass [F]by. I can't re-[Am]sist you even though I [F]try;

So please [G]go. I'm not [G]strong enough to say [C]no. [C] [F] [G]

The sign says [C]"Slow Down - [C]Slippery Ice"

You've got [Am]dangerous curves, [Am]don't think twice

It says "[F]Not For Sale," you're [F]spoken for

Just [C]take your heart and walk [G]out the door.

Cause [F]when you're around, my de-[F]fenses go down

Feelings get stronger, [C]looks get longer

The [F]closer you come, the [F]weaker I get

If it [G]ain't happened now, it just [G]ain't happened yet.

So please, please, please [F]go. I'm not [G]strong enough to say [C]no.

Please, please, don't [F]stay. I'm not [G]man enough to walk a-[C]way.

Please, please pass [F]by. I can't re-[Am]sist you even though I [F]try;

So please [G]go. I'm not [G]strong enough to say [C]no. [C] [C] [C]

[F] [G] [G]

Don't [Am]say I didn't warn you, don't [Em]say you didn't know

Don't [F]wait till it's too late, and [C]then try to go

The [F]closer you come, the [F]weaker I get

If it [G]ain't happened now, it just [G]ain't happened yet.

I'm beggin you! Baby please, please,

Please [F]go. I'm not [G]strong enough to say [C]no.

Please, please, don't [F]stay. I'm not [G]man enough to walk a-[C]way.

Please, please pass [F]by. I can't re-[Am]sist you even though I [F]try;

So please [G]go. I'm not [G]strong enough to say [C]no. [C] [FFFAm] [G]

[C] [FFFAm] [G] (fade out).
