  Intro:

  

  Am  Am/B  C  C/D   F  F1  [two times]

  

  Am            Am/B          C              F     F1

    This is the place where I made my best mistakes

  Am            Am/B       C                 D

    This is the place even angels don't understand

  Am              Am/B  C               F

    I've seen the disappointment in her face

          D               Bm            C             D

  And the collection of engagement rings on her right hand

  Am         Am/B   C             F    F1

    She sits alone apart from the crowd

       Am         Am/B       C               D

  In a white dress she wears like a question mark

  Am               Am/B  C 

    Friends speak of her fondly

                         F

  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                                       C                    D

   There's nothing you're thinking tonight that tomorrow won't change

  

  Now the cabaret is frozen and the laughter comes in cans

  And the lonely hearts club clientele don't know what to do 

    with their hands

  You think that you'll be sweet to her but everybody knows

  That you're the marshmallow valentine that got stuck on her clothes

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

                                                              F

  There's nothing you're thinking tonight that tomorrow won't change

  

  [Chords through solo:]

  D   D   G   D   A   A   G   C   A

  

  So you mix your drinks and words

  You make bad jokes you make bad time

  The floors are there to walk over

  The walls are there to climb

  You swear you'll never go back again once you're inside

  You're never the bridegroom she's always the bride

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

  There's nothing you're thinking tonight that tomorrow won't change

  

  G                                      C         G

   You'll come in a sweetheart and you'll go out a stranger

           D

  Well you try to love her but she's so contrary

  Like a chainsaw running through a dictionary

                                          C           D  G

  So get your mind off the sweet behind of our little angel

  G

   You're not going to do a thing

  

   You're not going to do a thing

                       Em        D                   G

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