_ [Gm] It was very late in the _ discotheque
I was feeling [Dm] blue as I sometimes do [Gm] I
Turned around it was time to go [Dm] a face in the crowd a face.
I didn't know
_ [Gm] We got to talking for a little while
You [Dm] said it's not this sort of thing you usually do
_ [Gm] Talking to strangers [C] so late in the night these [Dm] days you never know
_ _ _ Well, I thought you were [Gm] nice.
I even told you so but you smiled so [Dm] shyly and said to me
[Bb] I bet you say [Gm] that to all the girls you meet
But [Dm] it isn't so
_ _ _ Yes, the club [Gm] was closing so we had to leave
We [Dm] walked together just a little at ease
[Bb] I would have [E] liked to have walked you home, but [Dm] you said you could slip us so I ended up alone
I never [Gm] knew your name
Nor your [Dm] telephone _ number
_ Will I ever [Gm] see you again?
_ _ [Dm] I wonder
It _ _ _ _ [Gm] wasn't any longer than an hour or two
[Dm] That lonely street I said goodbye to you
[Gm] You glanced back at me as I turned the [Cm] corner
[Dm] Was the last I saw of you
_ _ [Gm] Oh I wanted to call, call out your name
[Dm] But stupid pride and idiot shame
[Gm] _ _
Hesitated, scared of playing the fool
[Dm] So you hoped to wait for Mr.
Cool
I [Gm] never knew your name
Nor your telephone _ [Dm] number
_ _ Will I ever [Gm] see you _ again?
_ _ [Dm] I wonder _
_ _ _ No, I [Gm] never knew your name
Nor your telephone _ [Dm] number
_ Will I ever [Bb] see you [Gm] _
again?
Oh [Dm] girl, I wonder _
_ _ _ If [Gm] it was maybe like the discotheque
I was [Dm] feeling blue, as I sometimes do
[Gm] I thought you were nice, I told you so
But [Dm] I ended up alone
No, [Gm] I never knew your name
Nor your telephone [Dm] number _
_ Will I ever [Gm] see [C] you _
[Gm] [C] again?
_ [Gm] Girl, [Dm] I wonder _ _
_ _ _ What's [Gm] so very late in the discotheque
[Dm] And I'm feeling blue, as I always do
I [Gm] turn around, cause it's time to go
_ [C] _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
