Naked and frozen at the side of a lake,

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

I took her swimming, we had a fight,

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

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,----------------------------------------------------------

I think she owes me an explanation,
Em
She's got the whip hand in this situation,

It could start the whole thing all over again,

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...
