[Verse 1]
B Bsus4 Bsus2 E Eadd11 F
I saw your deep blue eyes from afar
B Bsus4 Bsus2 E Eadd11 F
I saw you at the church bazaar
B Bsus4 Bsus2 E Eadd11 F
I asked the priest to introduce me to your mother
B Bsus4 Bsus2 E Eadd11 F
B Bsus4 Bsus2 E Eadd11 F
B Bsus4 Bsus2 E Eadd11 F
And I asked her to introduce us to each other
[Spoken words]
G# EM7/B F#5/B C#5
The first time i saw you, it was
G# EM7/B F#5/B C#5
magic
[Verse 2]
B Bsus4 Bsus2 E Eadd11 F
I asked you to go on a picnic of our own
B Bsus4 Bsus2 E Eadd11 F
But you insisted on taking a chaperone
B Bsus4 Bsus2 E Eadd11 F
I apologized for being so bold and rude
B Bsus4 Bsus2 E Eadd11 F
So I invited your parents for lemonade and food
[Chorus]
G# EM7/B
We're saving ourselves
F#5/B C#5
Saving ourselves for marriage
G# EM7/B F#5/B C#5
Saving ourselves, for a baby carriage
F#M7/C# E BM7/F# F#5
Restraining ourselves, till the moment's right
F#M7/C# E BM7/F# F#5
Saving ourselves, for our wedding night
[Verse 3]
B Bsus4 Bsus2 E Eadd11 F
After four years of dating, I decided to take a risk
B Bsus4 Bsus2 E Eadd11 F
I held both your hands, and kissed your rose-petaled lips
B Bsus4 Bsus2 E Eadd11 F
We stared into each others' eyes, wondering what was next
B Bsus4 Bsus2 E Eadd11 F
But we knew not to ruin our love with pre-marital sex
[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
B Bsus4 Bsus2 E Eadd11 F
Years went by, our courtship was grand
B Bsus4 Bsus2 E Eadd11 F
One day I asked your father for your hand
B Bsus4 Bsus2 E Eadd11 F
I'd never treat you like an object, only like a lady
B Bsus4 Bsus2 E Eadd11 F
I'd never consider having sex, except to have a baby
[Chorus]
G# EM7/B
We're saving ourselves
F#5/B C#5
Saving ourselves for marriage
G# EM7/B F#5/B C#5
Saving ourselves, for a baby carriage
F#M7/C# E BM7/F# F#5
Restraining ourselves, till the moment's right
F#M7/C# E BM7/F# F#5
Saving ourselves, for our wedding night
