	        Am           Am6 
This is the place 
         C           F  Fmaj7 
Where I made my best mistakes 
Am           Am6 
This is the place 
       C              D 
Even angels don't understand 
Am    Am6           C 
I've seen the disappointment 
      F  Fmaj7 
In her face 
            D            Bm 
And the collection of engagement rings 
C           D 
On her right hand 

Am        Am6    C 
She sits alone apart 
        F  Fmaj7 
>From the crowd 
      Am       Am6 
In a white dress 
           C               D 
She wears like a question mark 
Am       Am6           C 
Friends speak of her fondly 
                     F  Fmaj7 
Enemies just think out loud 
                  D              Bm 
You think you're man enough to please her 
            C               D 
And you're fool enough to start 

G                             C                G 
You're not going to do a thing to our little angel 
D 
There's nothing you're thinking tonight 
C                     D 
That tomorrow won't change 

          Am        Am6 
Now the cabaret is frozen 
           C            F  Fmaj7 
And the laughter comes in cans 
          Am    Am6            C 
And the lonely heart's club clientele 
                                   D 
Don't know what to do with their hands 
     Am         Am6        C 
You think that you'll be sweet to her 
             F  Fmaj7 
But everybody knows 
       D                       Bm 
That you're the marshmellow valentine 
           C             D 
That got stuck on her clothes 

G                             C                G 
You're not going to do a thing to our little angel 
D 
There's nothing you're thinking tonight 
C                     F 
That tomorrow won't change 

       Am        Am6         C 
So you mix your drinks and words 
                              F  Fmaj7 
You make bad jokes you make bad time 
      Am        Am6      C 
The floors are there to walk over 
                         D 
The walls are there to climb 
     An           Am6      C 
You swear you'll never go back again 
           F  Fmaj7 
Once you're inside 
  D                 Bm 
You're never the bridegroom 
 C                 D 
She's always the bride 

G                             C                G 
You're not going to do a thing to our little angel 
D 
There's nothing you're thinking tonight 
C                     D 
That tomorrow won't change 


G                                     C 
You'll come in a sweetheart and you'll go out a stranger 
          D 
Well you try to lover her but she's so contrary 
          D7 
Like a chainsaw running through a dictionary 
                                          C           D 
So get your mind off the sweet behind of our little angel 

G 
You're not going to do a thing 
G 
You're not going to do a thing 
G 
You're not going to do a thing 
                    Em         D               G 
You're not going to do a thing to our little angel
