D                                                 A7
When I see those big brown eyes is when I take my cue

                                                    D
It don't take me but a few minutes to get a message through

                                                           A7
I talked to you, and you talked to me and we talked to one another
[Chorus]
N.C.                               A7                 D
It don't take us but a few minutes to understand each other

D                                                   A7
If I was twenty-three years old and you were twenty-two

                                                     D
I bet no one would try to run our lives the way they do

                                                   A7
We take a chance and try romance, be true to one another
[Chorus]
N.C.                                A7                D
It don't take us but a few minutes, when we want each other

D                                               A7
If I was in San Diego and you were in Portland, Maine

                                                        D
I'd fly to you lock, stock and bone in hail and pouring rain

                                                             A7
Over the mountains, through the valleys, coming home to each other
[Chorus]
N.C.                               A7                 D
It don't take us but a few minutes to get to one another
[Solo] D A7 D [Verse 4]
D                                              A7
You would write a love song and play on my guitar

                                                D
And if you should, in Hollywood, become a movie star

                                                     A7
Would you let your heart forget, I loved you and you only
[Chorus]
N.C.                             A7                  D
It don't take but a few minutes, when you're feeling lonely

D                                                 A7
When I see those big brown eyes is when I take my cue

                                                    D
It don't take me but a few minutes to get a message through

                                                           A7
I talked to her, and she talked to me and we talked to one another
[Outro]
N.C.                               A7      D
It don't take us but a few minutes to understand each other
