Intro: DCG x2
-----
DC
I stood by the exit door of the hotel cafe
G
He was playing with his band
DCG
I've always been a sucker had a weakness for a boy with a guitar and a drink in his hand
DC
His words were like heaven in my hurricane
G
My knees buckled under
I thought everyone was watching me
DCG
Watching you save my life with the song
-----
Em
You were mine
A
In the back of my mind
Em
Oh just for one night
A
Just for a while
-----
DCG
There's always one that gets away
DCG
The one that sneaks up on you that slips away

DC
Two weeks later I was sitting in his apartment
G
He was making cappuchino
-
I said what kind of man makes cappuchino
D
We laughed
We laughed

CG
We laughed til tears ran down my face
DC
Oh but my man you're someone elses man
G
And that aint the man that I want
DCG
But you keep drawing me in with those big brown lion eyes

Em
You'll always be mine
A
In the back of my mind
Em
Oh we had a night
A
Just a little wine

Happy endings only one
