Gm
You and I were finished,
      F6/G
I was through with you.
Cm7/G
Splitting up forever
           Gm
Seemed the thing to do.
I said, I can’t stand you
          F6/G
With your honey touch,
Cm7/G
This time you were cheating me,
    Gm
One time too much.

   Gm
   Just then I remembered,
          F6
   That a friend I knew
   Eb6
   Told me one thing,
                  D7sus4 D7
   I should never do.

Chorus:
            Gm
     Never, never change your lovers
            C
     In the middle of the night,
          Am75-             D7
     Everything may look so different
            Gm
     In the early morning light.
     Never, never be too hasty
                 C
     When you’re groping in the dark.
                 Am75-        D7
     What you’re getting into may be
            Gm    D7
     Just a lark.

               Gm
     Keep your cool and don’t change lovers
                 C
     When you’re feeling sorta high,
           Am75-            D7
     Sorta big and high and mighty
             Gm
     Without really knowing why.
     Let the heat wear off a little,
               C
     Give your man another chance
               Am75-            D7
     And don’t fall for someone else’s
              Gm     C D
     Song and dance.

Gm
Sure, there was this guy
      F6/G
Right next to me,
Cm7/G
Mine just for the asking,
        Gm
He said he would be.
But to leave my man
          F6/G
Seemed to me all too strange,
    Cm7/G
And I’d say that I’m glad,
         Gm
I didn’t make the change.

   Gm
   Now our life is almost
          F6
   Like a Paradise,
   Eb6
   Let me pass on to you
          D7sus4 D7
   This advice.

Chorus:
               Gm
     Keep your cool and don’t change lovers
            C
     In the middle of the night,
             Am75-             D7
     You may feel a strong temptation,
           Gm
     The vibrations may be right.
     But who knows what’s gonna happen,
             C
     You may simply lose your cool
              Am75-                D7
     When you find it, you’ll find out
                Gm    D7
     You were a fool.

            Gm
     Never, never change your lovers
           C
     Under any midnight spell.
             Am75-          D7
     Take it easy, slow and easy,
          Gm
     Everything will turn out well.
     Let the sunshine of a new day,
               C
     And don’t move while you’re uptight
              Am75-         D7            Gm     C D
     Changing lovers in the middle of the night.
