Intro: Asus2AAsus2ABsus2BBsus2BE
I know you broke up with him
Esus4E
and your hearts still on the shelf
EAB
It's been over two years for me & I'm still not quite myself
C#mAsus4A
You can't be with someone new and you can't go back to him
C#mDB
You're beginning to realize that it's sink or swim
EEsus4E
I see you around sometime and my heart just melts
EAB
You're like if you had your wish you'd be somewhere else
C#mAsus4A
And it just breaks my heart to see you here this way
C#mDB
Someday I'll get the nerve to walk up to you and say
EG#mA
This is the last worthless evening that you'll have to spend
Bsus2Asus2E
Just give me a chance to show you how to love again
EG#mA
This is the last worthless evening that you'll have to spend
F#mAB
'Cause I'll be there when your broken heart is on the mend
EEsus4E
Everynight it's the same old crowd in smokey rooms
E
You catch a faint glimpse of love sometimes
AB
but it never blooms
C#mAsus4A
I've been around this block a time or two
C#mD
And I've made some big mistakes but girl I promise you,
B
I promise you
EG#mA
This is the last worthless evening that you'll have to spend
Bsus2Asus2E
Just give me a chance to show you how to love again
EG#mA
This is the last worthless evening that you'll have to spend
F#mABsus2
'Cause it won't be long 'til your little heart is on the mend
Asus2A (this is like Intro)
Time time tickin’ tickin’....tickin’ away
Asus2A
Time time tickin’ tickin’....tickin’ away
Bsus2B
Time time tickin’ tickin’....tickin’ away
Bsus2B
Time time tickin’ tickin’
EEsus4E
People inside their houses with the shades pulled down
E
God knows we could use some romance
AB
in this sleepy bedroom town
C#mAsus4A
I know you're still afraid to rush into anything
C#mDB
But there's just so many summers and just so many springs
EG#mA
This is the last worthless evening that you'll have to spend
Bsus2Asus2E
Just give me a chance to show you how to love again
EG#mA
This is the last worthless evening that you'll have to spend
F#mAB
'Cause it won't be long 'til your little heart is on the mend
EG#mA
This is the last worthless evening that you'll have to spend
Bsus2Asus2E
Just give me a chance to show you how to love again
EG#mA
This is the last worthless evening that you'll have to spend
F#mAB
'Cause it won't be long 'til your little heart is on the mend
