verse one: 
Am                  F/A                          G/A 
At this time of night when the crowds have passed 
                       Em             G/A 
we're the last to leave, we need some company 
Am                  F/A                          G/A 
No need to look so shy, don't even wonder why 
                       Em             G/A 
You know the reason that we need this company 
Dm                                     Am    F/A  Am 
I've been sitting here looking out for you 
Dm                                              Em   E 
someone just like me who's maybe had a drink or two 


Am                    
I don't want another drink or fight 
         Dm      Em 
I want a lover 
Am 
I don't care whether it's wrong or right 
         Dm      Em 
I want a lover tonight 
  Am       Dm   Em 
Tonight 
Am - Dm - Em 

verse two (same as the first one) 
Outside the dawn is breaking, looks like it's started raining 
We'll catch a cab and soon be driving home 
No need to look so shy, don't even wonder why 
You'll know the reason just as soon as we get home 
You've been sitting there wondering what to do 
I've been standing here waiting to make the first move
