[Verse 1]
Em                                                        C 
When I walked into this place, You were sitting in the dark 
Em                                      C 
With a ring on your third finger and a weight upon your heart
        D                       C
I said: “Mind if I sit down, you said : do as you see fit
    Am                  D               Em
You look like you deserve just what you get.

[Verse 2]
Em                                                        C 
I've been drinking like a sailor and my senses have taken flight,
Em                                      C 
I told you I was single you said looks like you are tonight.
        D                       C
I moved around to your side and you didn't make a fuss
    Am                  D               Em
I can see that there was something between us.

[Verse 3]
Em                                                        C 
I said let me ask a question: have you been in here before?
Em                                      C 
You said is that all you wondered I expected something more
        D                       C
I thought that you might ask why am I alone here in this bar?
    Am                  D               Em
I said all I need to know is that you are.

[Verse 4]
Em                                                                  C 
Now I can see the look in your eye and I can taste the wine on your lips
Em                                            C 
You got troubled on your mind and you have trouble on your hips
        D                                          C
I know that this ain't right, I can feel it in my bones 
    Am              D               Em
But I don't wanna spend the night alone. 

[Verse 5]
Em                                              C 
So sit a little closer don't act like you don't know
Em                                                       C 
Where this all thing is heading where the two of us will go
        D                                               C
It's August and it's hot outside, girl you ain't going home
    Am             D              Em
And I don't wanna spend the night alone (bis)
    Am             D               Em
No I don't wanna spend the night alone
