[Verse 1]
G Gsus4 Gsus2 C Cadd11 F
I saw your deep blue eyes from afar
G Gsus4 Gsus2 C Cadd11 F
I saw you at the church bazaar
G Gsus4 Gsus2 C Cadd11 F
I asked the priest to introduce me to your mother
G Gsus4 Gsus2 C Cadd11 F
G Gsus4 Gsus2 C Cadd11 F
G Gsus4 Gsus2 C Cadd11 F
And I asked her to introduce us to each other
[Spoken words]
E CM7/G D5/G A5
The first time i saw you, it was
E CM7/G D5/G A5
magic
[Verse 2]
G Gsus4 Gsus2 C Cadd11 F
I asked you to go on a picnic of our own
G Gsus4 Gsus2 C Cadd11 F
But you insisted on taking a chaperone
G Gsus4 Gsus2 C Cadd11 F
I apologized for being so bold and rude
G Gsus4 Gsus2 C Cadd11 F
So I invited your parents for lemonade and food
[Chorus]
E CM7/G
We're saving ourselves
D5/G A5
Saving ourselves for marriage
E CM7/G D5/G A5
Saving ourselves, for a baby carriage
DM7/A C GM7/D D5
Restraining ourselves, till the moment's right
DM7/A C GM7/D D5
Saving ourselves, for our wedding night
[Verse 3]
G Gsus4 Gsus2 C Cadd11 F
After four years of dating, I decided to take a risk
G Gsus4 Gsus2 C Cadd11 F
I held both your hands, and kissed your rose-petaled lips
G Gsus4 Gsus2 C Cadd11 F
We stared into each others' eyes, wondering what was next
G Gsus4 Gsus2 C Cadd11 F
But we knew not to ruin our love with pre-marital sex
[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
G Gsus4 Gsus2 C Cadd11 F
Years went by, our courtship was grand
G Gsus4 Gsus2 C Cadd11 F
One day I asked your father for your hand
G Gsus4 Gsus2 C Cadd11 F
I'd never treat you like an object, only like a lady
G Gsus4 Gsus2 C Cadd11 F
I'd never consider having sex, except to have a baby
[Chorus]
E CM7/G
We're saving ourselves
D5/G A5
Saving ourselves for marriage
E CM7/G D5/G A5
Saving ourselves, for a baby carriage
DM7/A C GM7/D D5
Restraining ourselves, till the moment's right
DM7/A C GM7/D D5
Saving ourselves, for our wedding night
