Key: A
Introduction: D G C G
G C G
In the pale neon light of a Saturday night
C
You'll see him walk up to the bar
D G C G
He'll size up the ladies, the "no's" and the "maybe's"
Em D
Till he finds one who'll let down her guard
C
Then the band on his hand gets slipped off again
G C
And his disarming charm starts to work
G C G C
And with a drink and a lie, in the blink of an eye
D G
Something amazing occurs
C
He's suddenly single
D Em
Instantly free
D
And for three or four hours
G
He's the man of her dreams
C D Em C
He acts like there's no one waiting at home
Am G C
He'll be suddenly single
D G
Till he's suddenly gone
G C G
He sneaks through the door at a quarter to four
C
But tonight there's no one to wake
D G C G
The note that she wrote him says, "I've given up hoping
Em D
I'd be able to change you someday."
C
He sits on the bed, shaking his head
G C
A man in complete disbelief
G C
He knows what he's lost
G C
Oh, but he never thought
D G
Someday, he'd really be
Repeat Chorus (Altered Lyrics)
Am G C
He's suddenly single
D C D G
'cause she's suddenly gone
