Billy Joel - Temptation: chords

F                         E7       Am7
It's time for me to be on my way I know
         Dm
I've got business to conduct
             F/A       Gsus4
And I've got places to go
G/F          F                    E7         Am7
But I can't help looking at her sleeping instead.
         Dm7                               F/A
Another morning I'll have trouble climbing out
         G
of this bed,
F/G     C            Dm  C/E  F G  E C
Because - she's such a  temp-tation
         Dm  C/E F  G F C
It's driving me crazy
            Dm C/E F G
And it's my fascination
       Am7                   D G/D D
That's making me act this way
    Am7                D      G/D F
And I know what all my friends   say
         C/G                       G
They're afraid that I'm losing my touch
                    G/C C
But she's such a temptation.

Oh, I look so tired 'cause I don't get much sleep
I've got too many commitments
That are too hard to keep
And I try to be rational and I try to be wise
But it all gets blown to pieces
When I look in her eyes
Because she's such a temptation
And nothing can save me
And my only salvation
If I can tear myself away
'Cause I know what all of my friends say
There's a danger in wanting too much
But she's such a temptation

Oh yeah, I should be leaving but I can't cut loose
I have my reasons for resistance
But I have no excuse
And I lose my composure, I could use some restraint
I never claimed to be a hero
And I never said I was a saint
She's such a temptation
It's driving me crazy
And it's my fascination
That's making me act this way
And I can just hear all my friends say
"Better watch out, you're losing your touch"
But she's such a temptation

E/G#      E+/G# E/G#
Yes she is
E+/G#         G/C C    G/C
She's such a temptation
C         E/G#
Yes she is
E+/G#         E/G#
Oh, Yes she is
E+/G#           G/F F
She's such a temptation
