A 
We met downtown in a barroom, 
                     E7 
Both of us needinâ?? a friend, 

You brought me home to your doorstep, 
                            A 
It was there you invited me in, 

A 
We spent the wee hours dancing, 
                             E7 
To your favorite home stereo sounds, 

We talked about what we been needin', 
                           A 
Discussin' our ups and our downs, 

A 
And I've had a beautiful time, 
                           E7 
Holding your heart next to mine, 

I poured out my feelinâ??s while you poured the wine, 
                         A 
And I've had a beautiful time. 

(LEAD) 

A 
If I seem a wee bit uneasy, 
                       E7 
You really sized me up right, 

There's somebody home still up waitinâ??, 
                                 A 
She probably been waitinâ?? up all night. 

A 
I can't say I found any answers, 
                                 E7 
But you listened while I rattled on, 

And youâ??ve been beautiful lady, 
                           A 
And you kept me from beinâ?? alone. 


A 
And I've had a beautiful time, 
                          E7    
Holding your body next to mine, 

You poured out your feelinâ??s and I poured the wine, 
                         A 
And I've had a beautiful time. 


A 
I've had a beautiful time, 
                           E7 
Holding your heart next to mine, 

We poured out our feelinâ??s, then we poured the wine, 
                         A 
And I've had a beautiful time. 

E7 
You poured out your feelinâ??s  while we poured the wine, 
                         A 
And I've had a beautiful time.
