 G                           
Naked and frozen at the side of a lake,

 Am                            D
I think I've gone and made my big mistake,

G                    Em
I took her swimming, we had a fight,

         Am                           D
Now my clothes and the lady are well out of sight,

        C              D             G    D/F#      Em   Em/D
And it looks like I'm heading for a night on__ the river,

C         D                Em
Under the moon and the stars,

C                D            G     D/F#       Em
Looks like I'm heading for a night on__ the river,

       C          G/B         Am         D          G
(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;
G - C - G - D - G - C - G - D - C - G - D - Em - C - D - G
Oh,----------------------------------------------------------

B                                  
I think she owes me an explanation,

Em
She's got the whip hand in this situation,

   A                          
If I try to tell her just the way I feel,

        D
It could start the whole thing all over again,

     C            D             G      D/F#     Em
Ooh, I think I'm heading for a night on__ the river,

C          D               Em
Under the moon and the stars,

C             D             G     D/F#       Em
Could be I'm heading for a night on__ the river,

    C         G/B               Am       D       G
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...
