Appreciate y'all coming out.
[Bm] You can live your life in a crowded city.
You can walk alone on the crowded street.
[F#m]
But the city really ain't no bigger
than the friendly people [Bm] that you meet.
You might be a sweet young, sweet young pretty,
and the dances you can't keep your seat.
But
[F#] if dances don't lead to romance,
you [F#m]
might as well be born with [Bm] two left feet.
You might be a sweet-toned, shown-up high-class talker.
You might be a stone -expert at kissing.
[F#m] [E] But it don't do too much good to be talking.
Brother, when there ain't [Bm] no blinding listening.
And if you are shy and just not much of a talker,
and you don't impress the people that you meet,
[F#m] might as well be a lonely walker
in a lonely town on a [Bm] lonely street.
[N] Thank you.
