(verse)
BB G# minorG#m
I was running late again, picking up a few things
BB F#F#
And there you were on isle 13.
BB G# minorG#m
I felt that old rush, when you saw me you blushed
BB F#F#
Like you did when you were sweet sixteen.
E MajorE BB
They said you looked lost on the dancefloor,
E MajorE BB
With a lonely look in your eyes.
E MajorE BB
Don't know why I didn't show, to this day I still don't know
E MajorE F#F#
For once I wish I hadn't thought twice.
BMaj7Bmaj7 BB
Then your folks split up and you moved to Colorado,
E MajorE BB
And I headed out to Tennessee.
E MajorE BB
Heard you got married and you moved back home,
EMaj7Emaj7 BB
Here we are again, you and me.
(chorus)
BB F#F#
It's no surprise the light in your little girl's eyes,
G# minorG#m E MajorE
Shines like the ring on your hand.
E MajorE F#F# BB F#F# G# minorG#m F# minorF#m E MajorE
Annie, I owe you a dance.
(verse)
BB E MajorE
Don't the years fly by in the blink of an eye,
G# minorG#m F#F#
Yeah loves, I've had a few.
BB E MajorE
I've been a million places and I've seen a million faces,
G# minorG#m F#F#
But I couldn't stop thinking 'bout you.
E MajorE F#F# G# minorG#m F#F#
Remember how we'd talk for hours, keeping each other's secrets,
E MajorE BB
Made a promise I'd take you to homecoming,
E MajorE F#F# G# minorG#m F#F#
But Annie I didn't keep it.
BB F#F#
Almost called you up, when I played it bolder,
G# minorG#m BB
But I thought I'd just let it be.
BB F#F#
Heard you found yourself a real good man,
G# minorG#m BB
Do you ever think of you and me?
(chorus)
BB F#F#
It's no surprise the light in your little girl's eyes,
G# minorG#m E MajorE
Shines like the ring on your hand.
E MajorE F#F# BB
Annie, I owe you a dance.

(verse-0ut)
BB E MajorE
So put your groceries in the basket, I'm so sorry, now I'm asking
G# minorG#m F#F#
Like I should have twenty years ago.
BB E MajorE
And I know it's all over, I'm just looking for some closure,
G# minorG#m F#F#
And there's a song on the radio.
E MajorE BB
You give me your hand and we start to dance,
E MajorE BB
The cashier gives us a smile.
E MajorE BB
As you turn and walk away, I hear your little girl say
E MajorE BB
"Momma, who was that guy?"
BB F#F#
I shouldn't be surprised, look forgiveness in your eyes,
G# minorG#m E MajorE
Gave me a second chance.
E MajorE F#F# (no chord) BB F#F# G# minorG#m F#F# E, BB
Annie, thanks for the dance.
