Intro: A  D E  (2x) 
 
 
Verse 1:
 
    A 
You rolled in like a  
                      D   E 
storm and brought the rain 
A 
Showered me with scorn  
             D   E 
and all your pain 
    A 
You told me you were  
               D    E 
torn in between days 
            A 
Now there's nothing I  
                   D 
or Bobby Smith can say 
   E 
To chase this 
torrential torture  
 
 
 
  D 
 away There just ain't words 
A            E       D 
  to say how sorry I am 
                   A 
For acting like a school 
    E            D 
boy trapped in a man 
                  A 
There's nothing I won't 
       E        D 
do for one last chance 
                E 
May I have this dance? 
              A  D E  (2x) 
Just one last dance 
 
 
 
Verse 2:
 
A 
Blew back into town  
              D   E 
just like the wind 
  A 
Beyond repair the  
              D  E 
damage that I did 
   A 
We both assumed we'd  
             D   E 
never speak again 
       A 
Till I saw you in  
 
those turquise pumps 
    D 
and tight black  
       E 
battle pants 
I need you back  
my friend 
 
 
D 
  There just ain't words 
A            E       D 
  to say how sorry I am 
                   A 
For acting like a school 
    E            D 
boy trapped in a man 
                  A 
There's nothing I won't 
       E        D 
do for one last chance 
                E 
May I have this dance? 
Just one last dance 
 
 
 
Interlude: Dan Adriano Bass Solo F#m  D E  (2x)
 
 
Bridge:
 
F#m 
   I've been dancing with 
the ghost of my self 
D 
   I've been dancing 
       E 
with a ghost it's true 
F#m 
   Take the heart in a 
jar off my shelf 
D 
   Pull it out and give  
   E          F#m D 
it back to you 
 
Pull it out give  
   E          F#m D 
it back to you 
Pull it out and give  
   E   
it back to you 
 
 
D 
  There just ain't words 
A            E       D 
  to say how sorry I am 
                   A 
For acting like a school 
    E            D 
boy trapped in a man 
                  A 
There's nothing I won't 
       E        D 
do for one last chance 
                E 
May I have this dance? 
              A 
Just one last dance
