[Bm]
[Em] [D]
Excuse [Em] me, [Bm] [D]
could I have this last dance with you?
[Em]
[Bm] You know this is my favorite song.
[D]
I've been waiting all night [Em]
just to get a chance to rap to you.
[A] There's so many things I want to [Em] say.
[G] For so long I've [D] been wanting to say them.
[D] [Em]
How come you're crying?
[D]
Oh.
[Em]
That's your man [Bm] she's with.
[D]
You never [Bm] thought it could happen to you, huh?
[Em]
[Bm] Oh yeah, I know what you [E] mean.
[D]
After all, she is your best friend.
[A] [Em]
[A] I wonder how long we've been [E] seeing each other.
[D]
I wonder if it's been as long [Em] as I've been digging on you.
[G] [F#m] [D]
You know I've been [A] watching you for a [Em] long, long time.
[E] [D]
[F#m] You know, I was sort of [Em] hoping we could put a little bit of a smile on your face.
I remember when I first broke up one time.
[E] [D] If I could put all my wishes [Bm] together, [Em]
[G] it couldn't describe the way [D] I feel about you.
[Em]
[E] [D]
If I [B] can't hear a [Em] sound, oh [Bm] baby, [D]
I'll use [Em] this a way.
[F#m] [D]
If I can't see a [Em] dog, oh baby, [D]
I'll [A] see you.
[Em]
[A] [E] [D]
When things were bad [Em] and [D] times were hard, you showed me the way.
[B] Yes you do, yes you do. [Em] Oh yeah.
[D]
When [A] times seem so dark, [Em]
[G] so dark and dreary, you [D] brighten up my day.
[Em] Oh yeah.
[G] If I have [F#m] one life [Em] to live, [A] let me live [D] it with you.
[Em] Oh yeah.
Listen.
[D]
I think of you all day, [Em] baby, baby.
[E] Whether [D] near or far.
[Em] Oh yeah.
[E] [D]
When I close, when I close my [Em] eyes at night, [A] baby, [D] there you are.
[D] [Em] Oh yeah.
[G] [D]
[B] Every time, every time, every [Em] time it rains, [D] I write your name.
[B] [Em] Oh yeah.
[D] I write once, twice, [Em] three times [A] on my [D]
windowpane.
[Bm] [Em] Oh [E] yeah.
[G] If I have one [F#m] life [Em] to live, [A] let me live [D] it with you.
[Em] Oh baby, [Bm] baby.
[G] [D]
All [D] I want to do is just live my whole [Em] life with you, darling.
I'm [D] so lonely, I'm so lonely, I'm so lonely and my life [Em] is so blue.
[G] [D] It's just so hard, it's just so hard to make it in this [Em] world.
[E] [B] To make it in this world [D] without you.
[Em]
