D                                                 G
Now I really should have known that you'd show up sooner or later
        D                              G
Knowin' every Friday night they always have your favorite band
       Em                             A 
Though someone new is with you at our table
Em                             A               D            G  A
Would it be too much for me to ask to ask you not to dance
Chorus:
    D              D/F# 
Not tonight, not until
           G
My heart's had some time to heal
          Em
Not right now, til I'm gone
        A
I won't be here very long
           D              D/F#
And when I leave, you can stay
         G
And just dance the night away
         Em
But 'til then, do you think
               A
That there's a chance
                       D
I could ask you not to dance
I saw you slip the leader of the band a piece of paper
I knew what song they'd play before he took it from your hand
I wonderin' if you'd do me one last favor
And if the answer's no I'll understand, could I ask you not to dance
Chorus
