Am F G C G Am
F G C
[Verse 1]
G Am C
I finally got the nerve
G F
To go out on the town
Am C
Cause it's been awhile, been all couped up
G F
And I ain't left this house
G
My friend said don't you worry man
C G Am
We'll have us a hell of a time
F
So, I got cleaned up and put on my hat
G
But much to my surprise
[Chorus]
Am F
You came slidin' 'cross that dance floor
G C
With that yeah you missed me grin
G Am F
Acting like you're the one I'm here for
G C
Ready to break my heart again
G Am F
But Stupid me I walked on out
G C
Pulled you close and spun you 'round
G Am F
Took you home, woke up alone
G Am F G C
Knowing damn well, me and my heart should know better by now
[Verse 2]
Am C
I still can't figure out
G F
Just how you managed to
Am C
Be here on the same damn night as me
G F
Flashing those baby blues
G
I swear it seems like you planned out
C G Am
Each time I lose my mind
F
'Cause you strut the room in those daisy dukes
G
Just like you did last night
[Chorus]
Am F
When you came slidin' 'cross that dance floor
G C
With that yeah you missed me grin
G Am F
Acting like you're the one I'm here for
G C
Ready to break my heart again

Pulled you close and spun you 'round

Took you home, woke up alone
