Intro:
       C/GC/G
There was a lonely guy named Robert
      E minorEm
Who was feeling kind of down
    A minorAm
So he got himself a beer
    E MajorE
And he sat there with a frown
   FF                   A minorAm
His girlfriend just broke up with him that day
           E minorEm     G+G
So things were not okay

Verse 1:
   C/GC/G            E minorEm
So he got himself a Lyft without any hesitation
    A minorAm
Driver said, "where are you going?"
    E MajorE
I don't have a destination
     FF                A minorAm
He said "I know a nice bar that has great booze"
            DmDm    E MajorE
Well I have nothing to lose
   A minorAm               E minorEm
So he got out of the car and made his way inside the bar
   E MajorE               A minorAm
The driver out the window yelled "please give me five stars"

Verse 2:
  FF                 G+G
He then sat down to get a drink from the bartender by the sink
    E MajorE                G+G           (G-->C in piano)
That's when he saw the very thing that changed his whole reality
  C majorC             E minorEm     A minorAm
And oh, it was the prettiest face in the world
             DmDm
She was unlike any other girl
                    Gsus4Gsus4    G+G
She smiled and her teeth were white as pearls, oh yeah
        C majorC   F-C
Like any other girl
(Fast) FF               G+G
So he got up from his seat cause his heart skipped a beat
    A minorAm
It was time to change his day
     G+G
He knew just the thing to say
     C majorC (once)
He said "hey"
     C majorC (once)
She said" hey"
     C majorC (once)
He said "hey"   (PAUSE)
      C majorC (once)
He said "sorry to interrupt"

Verse 3:
    FF (once)
Robert walked back to his seat
    G+G (once)
As he accepted his defeat
     E minorEm
Then he finished up his beer
    A minorAm
As he lost all of his cheer
     FF
Then he felt the hand upon his shoulder
G+G
As the air grew even colder
   E MajorE       G+G
She said before he drank another
 C majorC          E minorEm
"Sorry about what happened with my brother"
   C majorC         E minorEm
"I thought that was your man"
    C majorC       E minorEm
"It's just my brother Dan"
   C majorC
"Hey Dan"
   C majorC (with higher C majorC)
"Hey man"
    FF        E MajorE
So he got right up off of his chair
     G+G (arpeggio G+G until cut off)
Then he ran his fingers through her hair and...


*Receives Text Message: "I think we should break up"*
