Yes I know I'm late, gettin' home tonight 
          E                             B7 
Can supper wait I guess I've lost my appetite 
      E                          E7          A 
Yeah, you can fix me a drink and anything's okay 
              E          B7              E 
Oh by the way, I met a friend of yours today 
                      E7           A 
I was working on the other side of town 
    E                                       B7 
And come home I thought I'd stop and have a round 
E                E7                  A 
And in this bar I heard someone speak your name 
      E                  B7               E 
And that's how, I met a friend of yours today 
  E               E7       A 
I'd listen for a while and I could tell 
E                                               B7 
That, that stranger there he knew you much too well 
E                      E7                             A 
And I introduced myself and man you should've seen his face 
   E                        B7             E 
Oh what a shame, I met a friend of yours today 
E                                  E7             A 
Please don't cry woman, 'cause it's much too late for tears 
       E                                                B7 
Yeah and I'm sorry too, 'cause it hurts after all these years 
              E                E7               A  
**And ain't it sad a love like ours should end this way 
          E                 B7             E 
**And all because I met a friend of yours today 
Repeat**
