     C                         G            F
It was only last June when her old man ran away
    C                            G                 F
She couldn't stop cryin' cuz she knew he was gone to stay
  C                         G             F
It was ten thirty five on a lonely Friday night
       C                     G                     F
She was standin' by the bar, Mmm,  she was lookin' alright
  C5                         G5                      F5
I asked her if she wanted to dance and she said that all she wanted
                             C5        G5                 F5
was a good man and wanted to know if I thought I was qualified
Chorus:
           C          G          F
And I said baby don't waste your time
C             G       F
I know what's on your mind
F              Fm        Em        D7
I may be qualified for a one night stand
            Fm             G - G
But I could never take the place of your man
C G F x2   
   C                       G                      F
It hurt me so bad when she told me with tears in her eyes
  C                         G              F
He was all she ever had and now she wanted to die
 C                           G                 F
He left her with a baby and another one on the way
    C                            G                 F
She couldn't stop cryin' cuz she knew he was gone to stay
    C5                    G5
She ask me if we could be friends and I said
   F5
Oh honey, baby that's a dead end, you know
  C5            G5              F5
I know that we wouldn't be satisfied
REPEAT Chorus
