Am7 Fadd9 Am7 Fadd9
Am7
First time I saw you
Fadd9
Back in 1982
Am7
An L.A bar, I've come so far
Fadd9
In my kansas dancing shoes
Am7
I'm just a singer
Fadd9
And i'm looking for a song
Am7 Fadd9
Do you wanna sing along?
Am7
Two greyhounds later
Fadd9
And I'm feeling alright
Am7
I've got to have you
Fadd9
And it must be tonight
Am7
Come on back to my place
Fadd9
Well it's really just a room
Am7 Fadd9
But I'll be making some money soon
SOLO: Am7 Fadd9 (over duration)
Am7
Goodbye and thank you
Fadd9
Oh my number yeah - please phone
Am7
Two or three weekends
Fadd9
On the 405 alone
Am7
You say come on and stay
Fadd9
And when you sing down at the bar
Am7 Fadd9
It will not be so far
Cadd9
And I try to do my best
Am
I never meant to hurt no one
Dm
I was waiting for my break
G
That I knew one day would come
Cadd9
And I plug in my guitar
Am
And I'd look out across the room
Dm
And I'd dig into my heart
G
And I try to sing the truth
Cadd9 Am
And I know I did my best
Dm Em Fadd9
I never meant to hurt no one
SOLO: Am7 Fadd9 (over duration)
Am7
As I recall
Fadd9
Back in 1982
Am7
I never said goodbye, or why
Fadd9
I just left a note for you
Am7
Then one night I saw you
Fadd9
Across the road, across the dark
Am7 Fadd9
A shameful spear into my heart
Am7
Your look was haunting
Fadd9
An unexpected pain
Am7
I am so sorry
Fadd9
For the unexpected rain
Am7
The sadness that you kissed
Fadd9
The fresh scars on your wrist
Am7 Fadd9 Cadd9
I can't make it go away........
Am
And I try to do my best
Dm
I never meant to hurt no one
G
I was waiting for my break
Cadd9
That I knew one day would come
Am
And I plug in my guitar
Dm
And I'd look out across the room
G
And I'd dig into my heart
Cadd9
And I try to sing the truth
Am
And I know I did my best
Dm Em Fadd9
I never meant to hurt... no one, no one, no one
