Verse 1:
F             E7    Am7
It's time for me to be on my way I know

I've got business to conduct
       F/A    Gsus G
And I've got places to go
G/F      F          E7     Am7
  But I can't help looking at her sleeping instead

Another morning I'll have trouble climbing out of this bed

Chorus:
F/G   C    C  Dm C/E  F  G   F/G
Because - she's such a  temp - ta - tion
C   C   Dm  C/E F   G  F/G
 It's dri - ving me  cra - zy
C     C Dm  C/E F  G
 And it's my fas - ci - na - tion
    Am           D G/D D
That's making me act this way ---
  Am7          D G/D F
And I know what all of my friends say
    C/G            G
They're afraid that I'm losing my touch
            G/C C
But she's such a temp - ta - tion

Verse 2:
F            E7       Am7
I look so tired cause I don't get much sleep
       Dm              F/A     Gsus G
And I've got too many commitments that are too hard to keep
   F            E7    Am7
And I try to be rational and I try to be wise
    Dm7               F/A     G
But it all gets blown to pieces when I look in her eyes


Chorus:
F/G   C    C  Dm C/E  F  G   F/G
Because - she's such a  temp - ta - tion
C   C  Dm  C/E F  G  F/G
 And no - thing can save me
C    C   Dm  C/E  F  G
 But I might find sal - va - tion
  Am7        D G/D D
If I can tear myself away
   Am7          D G/D F
Cause I know what all of my friends say
     C/G          G
There's a danger in wanting too much
            G/C C
But she's such a temp - ta - tion

Instrumental:
G/C  C  E/G#  E+/G#  E/G#  E+/G#
G/C  C  G/C   C    E/G#  E+/G#  E/G# E+/G# E/G#


Verse 3:
F             E7    Am7
I should be leaving but I can't cut loose
     Dm              F/A    Gsus G
I have my reasons for resistance but I have no excuse
   G/F    F       E7     Am7
And I lose my composure I could use some restraint
    Dm7            F/A    G    C
I never claimed to be a hero and I never said I was a saint


Chorus:
   C  Dm C/E  F  G   F/G
She's such a  temp - ta - tion
C   C   Dm  C/E F   G  F/G
 It's dri - ving me  cra - zy
C     C Dm  C/E F  G
 And it's my fas - ci - na - tion
    Am           D G/D D
That's making me act this way ---
  Am7            D G/D F
And I can just hear all of my friends say
    C/G              G
Better watch out, you're losing your touch
            G/C C   G/C  C
But she's such a temp - ta - tion
E/G#   E+/G#
   Yes she is
E/G#    E+/G#     G/C C
   She's such a temp - ta - tion
G/C  C
     Yes she is
E/G#  E+/G#
     Oh yes she is
E/G#  E+/G#        G/F F  Gsus4 F/G C
