D                       F#m
Ya I'll dance with you for a while
                     G        D
But I'm not going to take you home
Gm                         A         G       A
I don't even know you last name
D
Let me explain

[Verse]
D
Been around the world a thousand times
                   G
Been swept away on distant shores
                 D
Bedded down with angels
              A
Drank their wine
     D
And always the conclusion is the same
                G
Making love is always grand
                    Em                A
But eventually love ends a losing game
G
   So let's leave it alone
A
   I'm going home

[Chorus]
                         G       A
I'd rather sleep with myself tonight
      F#m             G                     A
Where no one else can harm me baby no
   F#m      G
Oh Oh
                                   A
Although I'm really quite fond of you
      F#m             G                        A
My best intentions never turn out right
            G             A         D
I'd rather sleep with myself tonight

[Verse]
D
People think celibacy's a crime
                    G
Not saying I won't love again
                      D           A
But couldn't we just talk for a while
     D
And lately intimacy's got me down
                   G
Been hurt so many times before
                   Em           A        G
Jumped the gun and ended up alone
G
   It may sound a little funny
A
   But you gotta know

[Chorus]
                         G        A
I'd rather sleep with myself tonight
      F#m             G                         A
Where no one else can harm me baby no
   F#m      G
Oh Oh
                          G        A
Although I'm really quite fond of you
      F#m             G                        A
My best intentions never turn out right
            G             A         D
I'd rather sleep with myself tonight

    D
The information age things move so fast
                  G
Fax machines, Computer screens
                   D                A
Seems like love ss something of the past
     D
And modern girls got one thing in their head
                      G
Before you down your second drink
                      Em                  A
You're in the cab and then you're in her bed
              G
So let's hold off on the sex play
              A
I don't even know your last name


                         G        A
I'd rather sleep with myself tonight
      F#m             G                        A
Where no one else can harm me baby no
   F#m      G
Oh Oh
                          G        A
Although I'm really quite fond of you
      F#m             G                       A
My best intentions never turn out right
            G             A         D
I'd rather sleep with myself tonight
