[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 the sort of thing you usually do
[Gm] Talking to strangers 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 [Dm] so shyly and said to me
I [Bb] bet [E] you say that to all the girls you meet
But [Am] it [Dm] isn't so
Yes, the club [Gm] was closing so we had to leave
We walked [Dm] together just a little at ease
I [Bb] would have [E] liked to have walked you home
But you [Dm] said you missed the bus so I ended up alone
I never [Gm] knew your name, nor your telephone [Dm] 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 grossed back at me as I turned the [Cm] corner
[Dm] Was the last I saw of you
Oh I [Gm] wanted to call, call out your name
[Dm] But stupid, quiet, and idiot shame
[Gm] Hesitated, scared of playing the fool
[Dm] So you walked away from Mr.
Cool
I never [Gm] 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 [Gm] see you again?
Oh girl [Dm] I wonder
Visit me [Gm] maybe late, the discotheque
I was [Dm] feeling blue, as I sometimes do
[Gm] I thought you were nice, I told you so
[Dm] But I ended up alone
No I [Gm] never knew your name, nor your telephone [Dm] number
Will I ever see [Bb] you [C] [Gm]
again?
Oh girl [Dm] I wonder
Visit [Gm] me maybe late, in the discotheque
And [Dm] I'm feeling blue, as I always do
[Gm] I turn around, cause it's time to go
[C] [Dm] [N]
