A                                         E 
Sittin' at a tiny table in a ritzy restaurant, 
 
She was starin' at her coffee cup 
                                                    A 
He was tryin' to keep his courage up while applying booze 
A                                                    E 
The talk was small when they talked at all they both knew what they wanted 
 
There was no need to talk about it 
                                                 A 
They were old enough to scope it out and keep it loose 
           C#                     F#m                     D    (5 beats) 
She said, "You don't look like my type but I guess you'll do." 
A                   E              A 
Third rate romance, low rent rendezvous. 
          C#                        F#m                     D 
He said, "I'll even tell you that I love you if you want me to." 
A                   E              A 
Third rate romance, low rent rendezvous. 
 
 
 
When they left the bar, they got in his car and they drove away. 
He drove to the Family Inn, She didn't even have to pretend she didn't know what for. 
Then he went to the desk and made his request while she waited outside. 
When he came back with the key, she said give it to me and I'll unlock the door. 
She kept sayin', "I've never really done this kind of thing before, have you?"

He said, "Yes I have, but only a time or two."
