[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C
Gon' stay in, no need to see some cover charge dive tonight
C
Gonna listen to a record
G
Gonna wake up feelin' right
C
Then the telephone rings and it's on with some jeans
C
a couple friends for a drink or two
Am G
Said you weren't going out tonight
C
And then you do
C
You show up late, it's already loud
C
Dart boards and dollar beer
C
Laugh at some jokes and step through the crowd
G
And she's shinin' like a souvenir
C
The perfect shade of hazel eyes
C
Out of your league, it's true
F G C
Never think you'll get her to dance and then you do
[Chorus]
C C/B Am
You hold out, you hang on
F
You rush in, get it all wrong
G
Then you break up and go back to
G
Who you were when lonely's all you knew
C C/B Am
You get numbers, you get names
F
Get banged up from all love's games
G
Swear you're done falling for someone new
C
You think you won't but then you do
[Verse 2]
C
You wait a few nights before you call
C
You're playin' your cards close
C
The "hello" turns into a laugh
G
Six months, the next thing you know
C
It's whiskeys with her brother
C
Making space in a one bedroom
F G C
Never thought you'd find forever, and then you do
[Chorus]
C C/B Am
You hold out, you hang on
F
You rush in, get it all wrong
G
Then you break up and go back to
G
Who you were when lonely's all you knew
C C/B Am
You get numbers, you get names
F
Get banged up from all love's games
G
Swear you're done falling for someone new
Am
You think you won't but then you do
[Bridge]
Am G
Then straight out of the blue
F
When you least expect her to
G
She says "Goodbye" and rips your world in two
[Chorus]
C C/B Am
You hold out, you hang on
F
You rush in, get it all wrong
G
Then you break up and go back to
G
Who you were when lonely's all you knew
C C/B Am
You get numbers, you get names
F
Get banged up from all love's games
G
Swear you're done falling for someone new
C C/B Am
You think you won't but then you do
[Outro]
F G
Oh yeah, you do
C
Mm, mm
