Key: B

Introduction:  B   F#   G#m   F#m   E  

 B                                                 G#m 
I was running late again, picking up a few things
         B                                           F# 
And there you were on isle 13.
     B                                                       G#m 
I felt that old rush, when you saw me you blushed
                   B                                             F# 
Like you did when you were sweet sixteen.
           E                                                     B 
They said you looked lost on the dancefloor,
                 E                                   B 
With a lonely look in your eyes.
                       E                                                   B 
Don't know why I didn't show, to this day I still don't know
         E                                                       F# 
For once I wish I hadn't thought twice.
                     B7M                                   B 
Then your folks split up and you moved to Colorado,
             E                         B 
And I headed out to Tennessee.
 E                                                         B 
Heard you got married and you moved back home,
 E7M                                           B 
Here we are again, you and me.
                 B                                                   F# 
It's no surprise the light in your little girl's eyes,
 G#m                                                   E 
Shines like the ring on your hand.
 E               F#               B             F#  G#m  F#mE 
Annie, I owe you a dance.
(verse)
 B                                                         E 
Don't the years fly by in the blink of an eye,
           G#m                             F# 
Yeah loves, I've had a few.
           B                                                           E 
I've been a million places and I've seen a million faces,
             G#m                                                   F# 
But I couldn't stop thinking 'bout you.
 E                                                   F#         G#m                                   F# 
Remember how we'd talk for hours, keeping each other's secrets,
               E                                             B 
Made a promise I'd take you to homecoming,
         E             F#         G#m   F# 
But Annie I didn't keep it.
               B                                         F# 
Almost called you up, when I played it bolder,
             G#m                                         B 
But I thought I'd just let it be.
                     B                               F# 
Heard you found yourself a real good man,
               G#m                                     B 
Do you ever think of you and me?
                 B                                                   F# 
It's no surprise the light in your little girl's eyes,
 G#m                                                   E 
Shines like the ring on your hand.
 E               F#               B 
Annie, I owe you a dance.
              B       E       F#   B       E       F# 
(verse-0ut)
                         B                                                             E 
So put your groceries in the basket, I'm so sorry, now I'm asking
               G#m                                           F# 
Like I should have twenty years ago.
             B                                                       E 
And I know it's all over, I'm just looking for some closure,
                             G#m                 F# 
And there's a song on the radio.
         E                                               B 
You give me your hand and we start to dance,
         E                                   B 
The cashier gives us a smile.
               E                                                             B 
As you turn and walk away, I hear your little girl say
 E                                       B 
"Momma, who was that guy?"
     B                                                       F# 
I shouldn't be surprised, look forgiveness in your eyes,
 G#m                           E 
Gave me a second chance.
 E           F#                              B  F#  G#m  F#E,    B 
Annie, thanks for the dance.
