Chords

Standard

Intro:
A        C#m     Bm     Esus4   E 

         A                                                 
Well she picked me up in a German car
        C#m
and she took me out to an Irish bar
        Bm
where I drank some beer in a plastic cup
       E		D
'til I had some trouble standing up
	     A
And then she drove downtown to a strobe-lit space
     	      C#m
where all the guys wore chains and the thumping bass
    	 Bm
was so intense I could barely feel my face
      E
and I think I asked her back to my place



    F#m	            Bm7
But that's all I recall
           E 		  A
and when I woke up in the hall
       F#m             Bm7
I was alone and softly groaning
       E                 Fdim
and I lost my keys and I lost my phone
       F#m          Bm7
and I wonder what I did or said
     E               A
that I might soon regret
         F#m		Bm7
It was a night I can't remember
	 E                A
with the girl I can't forget   


Repeat intro:
C#m      Bm          Esus4    E


            A
Well I was reeling, watching the ceiling spin
          C#m
the next evening when my friends walked in
            Bm
and when I asked them if they knew where I'd been
            E                          D
they didn't speak at first, they only grinned
            A                     
You see I'm not the type to get in fights
          C#m 
but that might not have been the case last night
              Bm
because they heard that I had a word or two
       E 
with a man who asked, "Is she with you?"


         F#m		    Bm7
And if I took it the wrong way
               E              A
I guess that's not for me to say
          F#m               Bm7
though it seems I may have slipped up
        E                Fdim
when I offered him some grooming tips
        F#m               Bm7
But at least that helps explain
             E             A
the cuts and bruises on my head
         F#m           Bm7
from the night I can't remember
         E            A
with the girl I can't forget


Bridge:
C#m     F#m      Bm     E   C#m

                               F#m
And it's all coming back now   
                               Bm
Don't know how to react now    
				E
Guess I'll let it go
				
I'm not so sure I want to know


           A
Well I was back at work at 9:15
       C#m
when a message popped up on my screen
         Bm
It said, "Pick me up at 8:45
    E
and we can give it one more try"


    F#m               Bm7
And now that I'm with her
                E              A
the whole thing seems a bit absurd
           F#m             Bm7
though she never fails to tell the tale
       E                Fdim
of the time she had to post my bail
        F#m         Bm7
And for giving me a second chance
        E           A
I'm forever in her debt
          F#m              Bm7
since the night I can't remember
          E                        D A D A D A Bm A A6
she's the girl I won't ever forget
