Verse 1: 
 
G                           C         G 
In the pale neon light of a Saturday night 
                              C 
You'll see him walk up to the bar 
D     G                        C              G 
He'll size up the ladies, the "no's" and the "maybe's" 
        Em                            D 
Till he finds one who'll let down her guard 
         C 
Then the band on his hand gets slipped off again 
        G                         C 
And his disarming charm starts to work 
           G           C           G           C 
And with a drink and a lie, in the blink of an eye 
D                 G 
Something amazing occurs 
 
 
Chorus 1: 
              C 
He's suddenly single 
D         Em  
Instantly free 
                      D 
And for three or four hours 
                    G 
He's the man of her dreams 
                     C      D          Em     C 
He acts like there's no one waiting at home 
                  Am   G   C 
He'll be suddenly single 
             D      G 
Till he's suddenly gone 
 
 
Verse 2: 
 
G                               C          G 
He sneaks through the door at a quarter to four 
                              C 
But tonight there's no one to wake 
D   G                                   C        G                              
The note that she wrote him says, "I've given up hoping 
       Em                     D 
I'd be able to change you someday." 
   C 
He sits on the bed, shaking his head 
  G                  C 
A man in complete disbelief 
   G               C   
He knows what he's lost 
        G        C 
Oh, but he never thought 
D                    G 
Someday, he'd really be 
 
 
Repeat Chorus (Altered Lyrics) 
 
 
Outro:  
              Am   G   C 
He's suddenly single 
             D        C        D   G 
'cause she's suddenly gone
