Amaj7              F#m11       Em9          F#m11
Sitting by the fireside with a book in your hand,
Amaj7    F#m11      Em9       F#m11
Two lazy dogs sitting watching your man,
Amaj7             F#m11       Em9    F#m11
Three roses were bought with you in mind,
Amaj7             F#m11       Em9    F#m11
Three roses were bought with you in mind

Chorus:
           Em9         A
I've got to stop, and see what I'm on about,
Em9        A
Stop, and feel what I want,
           Em9          A
I've got to stop, and see what I'm on about,
Em9        A                   F#m11 B
Stop, and feel what I want with you,
F#m11 B
Ah,  ah

Walking through a wonderland I got you by the hand
Every move we made just as if it were planned

Three roses were bought with you in mind
Three roses were bought with you in mind

Chorus:
I've gotta stop and see what I'm on about
Stop and feel what I want I've gotta
Stop and see what I'm on about
Stop and feel what I want with you-oo
Ahh-ahh-ahh
