She said she'd meet me in the bar

-5  -4  4  -4 -5  4    5 -4  -4   4  4  4  5
At the Pla-za Ho-tel Wear a jack-et and a tie

  -6b  -6b -5 -6b -5
What's the oc-ca-sion

 5    5    -6b   5   -4    4   -4  5   5
She just smiled and she would-n't say why

-6b -6b -5 -5  -5   5    -6b  -5 -5  5   5  -4
So here I am stand-ing, wait-ing in the lob-by

  -4   -4  -4   4   5  -4   -4   4  -4   5
Sweat-ing bul-lets in this stup-id old suit

-6b  -6b  -5  -6b -5 -6b   -7    -6  -6b   5
And when she sees me she bursts out laugh-ing

  -4   4  -4   4    -4  4
You're a sad sight hon-ey, 

 -4  4   -6b -5  -6b  -6

 5  -5  -6  7   7   -7 -6  -7    7 -6  -6b
It did-n't mat-ter that I felt like a fool

  -7  -6 -6b -6b  -5  -5b   5      -5b    5   5
'Cause I for-got when she walked through the door

5  -5   -6  7   7   -7  -6  -7   7  -6  -6b
I said I'm sor-ry, but she said it was cool

And I don't want to be a-lone an-y-more


VERSE 2 SAME AS 1
It's so confusing choosing sides
In the heat of the moment
Just to see if it's real
It's so erotic having you
Tell me how it should feel
But I'm avoiding all the hard cold facts
That I've got to face
So ask me just one question
When this magic night is through
Could it have been just anyone
Or did it have to be you

(CHORUS)

 7    -8    7   -8    7   -7    -7
But, don't you know that it's wrong

 -6b   7     -5   -6b   -4  -4   4    5
It's wrong, it's wrong but like the song

 5  -4   -4   -4  4   -4   4 -4  5
Be-ing caught by the wink of an eye

-6b -6b -5  -5     5   -5 5  -6b
I can't be sure we'll get a-long

 5   -4   4   -4  5  -4
But I'm will-ing to try

-6b -6b -6b -6b  -5  -6b -6
As long as  you can tell me

And, I want you to-night

Al-though you hurt me be-fore

 5  -5  -6  7   7   -7 -6  -7    7 -6  -6b
It did-n't mat-ter that I felt like a fool

  -7  -6 -6b -6b  -5  -5b   5      -5b    5   5
'Cause I for-got when she walked through the door

5  -5   -6  7   7   -7  -6  -7   7  -6  -6b
I said I'm sor-ry, but she said it was cool
