G
When you came in this bar tonight
D G
Heads began to turn
C
And one by one the men walked up
D G
And everyone got burned
Em
You were quite the flirt
C
In your mini skirt
Em C
Brought the boys down to their knees
D
But you waited too long to pick one out
C D G
Now it's just you and me.
Chorus:
D G D
I may not be a millionaire
C D
And I ain't no movie star
G D
But you played hard to get too long
C D
And the good ones left the bar
Em A
I know you had intentions of going home with Mr. Right
C D
But it's last call for alcohol
C D G
And I'm the best you'll do tonight

G C
Hey we can leave in separate cars
D G
And no one has to know
C
I hope you don't live too far from here
D G
My gas tank's running low
Em
But if all goes well
C
And we close the deal
Em C
And you're looking for a date next week
D
You can come back to the same ole bar
C D G
And I'll be sittin' in the same ole' seat
Chorus:
Bridge:
Em
I know I ain't that handsome

And I drive a beat up truck
C D
I also know we better go
C D G
Before you sober up

C D G
The best you'll do tonight
