Chords with lyrics
Intro:
A augmentedA C# minorC#m B minorBm Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
A augmentedA
Well she picked me up in a German car
C# minorC#m
and she took me out to an Irish bar
B minorBm
where I drank some beer in a plastic cup
E MajorE D MajorD
'til I had some trouble standing up
A augmentedA
And then she drove downtown to a strobe-lit space
C# minorC#m
where all the guys wore chains and the thumping bass
B minorBm
was so intense I could barely feel my face
E MajorE
and I think I asked her back to my place
F# minorF#m Bm7Bm7
But that's all I recall
E MajorE A augmentedA
and when I woke up in the hall
F# minorF#m Bm7Bm7
I was alone and softly groaning
E MajorE FdimFdim
and I lost my keys and I lost my phone
F# minorF#m Bm7Bm7
and I wonder what I did or said
E MajorE A augmentedA
that I might soon regret
F# minorF#m Bm7Bm7
It was a night I can't remember
E MajorE A augmentedA
with the girl I can't forget
Repeat intro:
C# minorC#m B minorBm Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
A augmentedA
Well I was reeling, watching the ceiling spin
C# minorC#m
the next evening when my friends walked in
B minorBm
and when I asked them if they knew where I'd been
E MajorE D MajorD
they didn't speak at first, they only grinned
A augmentedA
You see I'm not the type to get in fights
C# minorC#m
but that might not have been the case last night
B minorBm
because they heard that I had a word or two
E MajorE
with a man who asked, "Is she with you?"
F# minorF#m Bm7Bm7
And if I took it the wrong way
E MajorE A augmentedA
I guess that's not for me to say
F# minorF#m Bm7Bm7
though it seems I may have slipped up
E MajorE FdimFdim
when I offered him some grooming tips
F# minorF#m Bm7Bm7
But at least that helps explain
E MajorE A augmentedA
the cuts and bruises on my head
F# minorF#m Bm7Bm7
from the night I can't remember
E MajorE A augmentedA
with the girl I can't forget
Bridge:
C# minorC#m F# minorF#m B minorBm E MajorE C# minorC#m
F# minorF#m
And it's all coming back now
B minorBm
Don't know how to react now
E MajorE
Guess I'll let it go
I'm not so sure I want to know
A augmentedA
Well I was back at work at 9:15
C# minorC#m
when a message popped up on my screen
B minorBm
It said, "Pick me up at 8:45
E MajorE
and we can give it one more try"
F# minorF#m Bm7Bm7
And now that I'm with her
E MajorE A augmentedA
the whole thing seems a bit absurd
F# minorF#m Bm7Bm7
though she never fails to tell the tale
E MajorE FdimFdim
of the time she had to post my bail
F# minorF#m Bm7Bm7
And for giving me a second chance
E MajorE A augmentedA
I'm forever in her debt
F# minorF#m Bm7Bm7
since the night I can't remember
E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm A augmentedA A major 6A6
she's the girl I won't ever forget
