Eb MajorEb          AbmAbm
Waiting tables at the burger stand

You were sitting alone
 G7G7             C minorCm
I came up for your order and asked you what you want
     F minorFm          Bb majorBb    Bb7Bb7
You said "do you really wanna know?"

Just got to town I didn’t have a friend, no,
Eb MajorEb          AbmAbm
I didn't even have a car
G7G7            C minorCm
Down at the three clubs I wrote you a poem
F minorFm         Bb majorBb      Bb7Bb7
And you bought the drinks at the bar

Even bums get lucky sometimes

No I just want to be a regular guy
   F minorFm          Bb majorBb  Bb7Bb7
Does that mean I could be your man

Eb MajorEb         AbmAbm
Not strong or fast, wasn’t good in school
Eb MajorEb         AbmAbm
Yes when I sing I’m flat or sharp

Then you took your aim at me

And you shot your arrow through my heart
