[Verse 1]
G# G#sus4 G#sus2 C# C#add11 F
I saw your deep blue eyes from afar
G# G#sus4 G#sus2 C# C#add11 F
I saw you at the church bazaar
G# G#sus4 G#sus2 C# C#add11 F
I asked the priest to introduce me to your mother
G# G#sus4 G#sus2 C# C#add11 F
G# G#sus4 G#sus2 C# C#add11 F
G# G#sus4 G#sus2 C# C#add11 F
And I asked her to introduce us to each other
[Spoken words]
F C#M7/G# D#5/G# A#5
The first time i saw you, it was
F C#M7/G# D#5/G# A#5
magic
[Verse 2]
G# G#sus4 G#sus2 C# C#add11 F
I asked you to go on a picnic of our own
G# G#sus4 G#sus2 C# C#add11 F
But you insisted on taking a chaperone
G# G#sus4 G#sus2 C# C#add11 F
I apologized for being so bold and rude
G# G#sus4 G#sus2 C# C#add11 F
So I invited your parents for lemonade and food
[Chorus]
F C#M7/G#
We're saving ourselves
D#5/G# A#5
Saving ourselves for marriage
F C#M7/G# D#5/G# A#5
Saving ourselves, for a baby carriage
D#M7/A# C# G#M7/D# D#5
Restraining ourselves, till the moment's right
D#M7/A# C# G#M7/D# D#5
Saving ourselves, for our wedding night
[Verse 3]
G# G#sus4 G#sus2 C# C#add11 F
After four years of dating, I decided to take a risk
G# G#sus4 G#sus2 C# C#add11 F
I held both your hands, and kissed your rose-petaled lips
G# G#sus4 G#sus2 C# C#add11 F
We stared into each others' eyes, wondering what was next
G# G#sus4 G#sus2 C# C#add11 F
But we knew not to ruin our love with pre-marital sex

[Verse 4]
G# G#sus4 G#sus2 C# C#add11 F
Years went by, our courtship was grand
G# G#sus4 G#sus2 C# C#add11 F
One day I asked your father for your hand
G# G#sus4 G#sus2 C# C#add11 F
I'd never treat you like an object, only like a lady
G# G#sus4 G#sus2 C# C#add11 F
I'd never consider having sex, except to have a baby
[Chorus]
F C#M7/G#
We're saving ourselves
D#5/G# A#5
Saving ourselves for marriage
F C#M7/G# D#5/G# A#5
Saving ourselves, for a baby carriage
D#M7/A# C# G#M7/D# D#5
Restraining ourselves, till the moment's right
D#M7/A# C# G#M7/D# D#5
Saving ourselves, for our wedding night
