And how much time do you think that we have? 
      Cadd9                   G                        
If I wanted to I could start over again 
         Em7                       D         
Let the good night decide who she wants me to find 
          Cadd9                       G 
And I'll never let you drop another tear in my eye 



        G              Cadd9          G                     Em7 
Singing oh sha la la, oh sha la la, listen honey, here comes my man 
        G             Cadd9           G                     Em7      D D D D                
Singing oh sha la la, oh sha la la, listen honey, here comes my man 



Verse 2:
 
            Em7                  D 
And all my life, I never had a chance  
          Cadd9                         G 
Don't you think I knew about all your pretty girlfriends? 
        Em7                     D 
But I waited for you, gave you time to decide 
         Cadd9               G 
But you never saw it from anybody else's side 


Verse 3:
 
      Em7                        D 
So I packed up my things and I faced up my doubts  
           Cadd9                 G 
You know I think I will grow my hair back out 
      Em7                        D 
Nevermind what you think, nevermind what you like 
              Cadd9                           G 
I'll take it out to the streets for somebody else to admire 



        G              Cadd9          G                     Em7

Singing oh sha la la, oh sha la la, listen honey, here comes my man 



Middle eight:
 
       G                           Em7 
Maybe time will tell you why I got so much hell to sell you 
         Cadd9               
Please, please understand me 
        G                  D 
Oh you can't just dance around me 
            G                           Em7  
Maybe your work will love you when I'm just not there to hold you  
             Cadd9                         
Maybe your pride can be your companion  
        Em7                   Cadd9                          
But I just won't be there to stand through it 
             Em7            Cadd9            D D D D 
Not one more minute will I stand through it    
D 
You got me singing baby
