[B]
[C]
[B]
[A] You know, girls, [C#] [B] it's hard to [B] find a guy that [C] really blows your mind.
[B] And you just dig everything he does, [A] like when he gives you that great big [B] special hug
and [C] that heavy kiss.
[B] Girls, you know the kind.
[A] The kind that's in the wrong [Em] place at the [B] wrong time and it really turns you on.
[C]
Well, [B] I had a guy like that.
[A] Then that time that happens to all of us, [B] we had an argument.
[C] And like all, and I mean all of us girls, [B] I said some pretty dumb things [A] like, like get lost.
[B] I don't want to see you anymore.
[C] But he was cool.
[B] He just stood there looking so hurt.
[A] And he said, if that's the way you want it, [C] and he split.
[B] And I just stood there looking dumb and let [Am] that man walk [A] right out of my life.
[B] And I've been as evil as a wet hen ever [C] since I told myself I wasn't going to [B] sweat it.
But I did.
[A]
[B] He was inside of me.
[C] And my thoughts, [B] my dreams, every place [A] I went, I saw his [Em] face.
And my [B] friends, they knew.
I [C] know they knew.
[B] And then one evening I was standing at the bus stop [A] and I heard a voice behind me say,
[B] Hi, baby.
[C] Oh, I just fell all apart [B] inside because I hadn't heard that voice in such a [A] long time.
[B] I turned around [C] and there he was [B] looking good.
[A] I just can't tell you how good [B] that man looked to me.
[C] And as I stood there trying to maintain [B] myself, he [A] asked me if I had a few minutes.
[B] I really wanted to tell him that I had a lifetime, [C] but I couldn't blow my cool.
[B]
We stopped at a cozy [A] little place.
[Em] And [B] I guess the shock of seeing him made me order a martini [C] because that's something that
I've never done before.
[B] But I thought I needed something stronger than [A] coffee to lean on.
[B] Oh, the music was soft [C] and the lights were low.
[B] And that drink had started going [A] to my head.
[B] He hadn't said anything about it, so I knew [C] it was my move.
And it [B] had to be now.
I couldn't [A] feel my nerves building.
I couldn't let him [B] go.
Not this time.
Not [C] this time.
[B] So I took his hand, [A] looked him straight into [B] the eye.
[C] And I said, [B] I said, [A] I said.
[G]
Maybe if I [Em] pray,
[Am]
you'll come [C] [D]
back.
Maybe, [G]
maybe [Em] if I cry,
[Am]
you'll come back.
[D]
[E] [D]
[G]
Maybe, [Bm]
[C] maybe [G]
[C]
[D] [D] if
[G]
[Em] [G] I could,
[Am]
you'd [Am]
[D]
be [G] there.
Maybe, maybe
[Em] kiss you, [G] yeah.
[Am]
You'd be at my,
[D]
[E] [G] maybe, [Bm] [C]
