(C) (G) (Fadd G)-->(F)->(Fmaj7)->(F)

It was only last June when her old man ran away

(C) (G) (Fadd G)->(F)->(Fmaj7)->(F)

She couldn't stop cryin' cuz she knew he was gone 2 stay

(C) (G) (Fadd G)->(F)->(Fmaj7)->(F)

It was ten thirty five on a lonely Friday night

(C) (G) (Fadd G)->(F)->(Fmaj7)->(F)

She was standin' by the bar hmm, she was lookin' alright

(C5) (G5) (F5)

I asked her if she wanted 2 dance and she said that all she wanted

(C5) (G5) (F5)

was a good man and wanted 2 know if I thought I was qualified

(C/F) (G/D) (Fadd G)->(F)->(Fmaj7)->(F)

And I said baby don't waste your time

(C/F) (G/D) (Fadd G)->(F)->(Fmaj7)->(F)

I know what's on your mind

(F) (Fmin) (Emin7) (D7)

I may be qualified for a one night stand

(Dmin7) (Gmin7)

But I could never take the place of your man

F-->E-->D--->C-->D--->E-->D--->C-->C (Straight out of a Cmaj Scale)

(C) (G) (Fadd G)->(F)->(Fmaj 7)->(F)

it hurt me so bad when she told me with tears in her eyes

(C) (G) (Fadd G)->(F)->(Fmaj 7)->(F)

He was all she ever had and now she wanted 2 die

(C) (G) (Fadd G)->(F)->(Fmaj 7)->(F)

He left her with a baby and another one on the way

(C) (G) (F)

She couldn't stop cryin' cuz she knew he was gone 2 stay

(C5) (G5)

She ask me if we could be friends and I said

(F5)

Oh honey, baby that's a dead end

(C5) (G5) (F5)
