D                                        A
You thought that I would be so warm and tender
F#                          Bm
That love could be so very nice
Em       F#          Bm
I made a call to find suspicion on the line
G             A
Why couldn't you be all

I thought you wouldn't be a young pretender
Again too late I realise
The reasons now I find, conditions at the time
Did not allow for you to be

Chorus:
              A
So don't you worry
            G              D
I've got it all under control
      G          A
Take time don't worry
          C         G        D
I'm only halfway through a dream

Now love can really be so warm and tender
And can be oh so very nice
But not that way I said, too late too soon you said
Too soon, you said, too late to soon

Chorus

You thought that I would be so warm and tender
That love could be so very nice
I made a call to find suspicion on the line
Why couldn't you be all

    D                        G        A
I thought you wouldn't be a young pretender
                    B             A
A young pretender, be a young pretender - x5
