The Girl I Cant Forget

G   Bm   Am   D


[Verse 1]

          G
Well, she picked me up in a German car
        Bm
And she took me out to an Irish bar
        Am
Where I drank some beer in a plastic cup
       D                C
'Til I had some trouble standing up
             G
And then she drove downtown to a strobe-lit space
              Bm
Where all the guys wore chains and the thumping bass
         Am
Was so intense I could barely feel my face
       D
Then I think I asked her back to my place


[Chorus 1]

    Em              Am7
But that's all I recall
           D              G
And when I woke up in the hall
  G/F# Em               Am7
I was alone and softly groaning
      D                   B7
And I lost my keys, and I lost my phone
      Em              Am7
And I wondered what I did or said
     D            G
That I might soon regret
   G/F#    Em              Am7
It was the night I can't remember
         D            G
With the girl I can't forget

G   Bm   Am  D


[Verse 2]

            G
Well, I was reeling, watching the ceiling spin
          Bm
The next evening when my friends walked in
           Am
And when I asked them if they knew where I'd been
            D                    C
They didn't speak at first, they only grinned
             G
You see, I'm not the type to get in fights
         Bm
But that might not have been the case last night
             Am
Because they heard that I had a word or two
         D                  B7
With the man who asked, "Is she with you?"


[Chorus 2]

         Em                Am7
And if I took it the wrong way
               D             G
I guess that's not for me to say
G/F#      Em               Am7
Though it seems I may have slipped up
       D                B7
When I offered him some grooming tips
       Em               Am7
But at least that helps explain
    D                      G
The cuts and bruises on my head
G/F#     Em            Am7
From the night I can't remember
         D            G
With the girl I can't forget

Bm     Em      Am     D   Bm

                             Em
And it's all coming back now
                             Am
Don't know how to react now

Guess I'll let it go
    D
I'm not so sure I want to know

            G
Well, I was back at work at 9:15
       Bm
When a message popped up on my screen
          Am
It said, "Pick me up at 8:45
    D
And we can give it one more try"

    Em                Am7
And now that I'm with her
                D             G
The whole thing seems a bit absurd
G/F#       Em             Am7
Though she never fails to tell the tale
       D               B7
Of the time she had to post my bail
        Em          Am7
And for giving me a second chance
    D              G
I'm forever in her debt
G/F#      Em            Am7
Since the night I can't remember
          D                        C G C G C G Am G G6
She's the girl I will never forget
