Girl I Cant Forget
Fountains Of Wayne
Text File
Intro:
A C#m Bm Esus4 E
A
Well she picked me up in a German car
C#m
and she took me out to an Irish bar
Bm
where I drank some beer in a plastic cup
E D
'til I had some trouble standing up
A
And then she drove downtown to a strobe-lit space
C#m
where all the guys wore chains and the thumping bass
Bm
was so intense I could barely feel my face
E
and I think I asked her back to my place
F#m Bm7
But that's all I recall
E A
and when I woke up in the hall
F#m Bm7
I was alone and softly groaning
E Fdim
and I lost my keys and I lost my phone
F#m Bm7
and I wonder what I did or said
E A
that I might soon regret
F#m Bm7
It was a night I can't remember
E A
with the girl I can't forget
Repeat intro:
C#m Bm Esus4 E
A
Well I was reeling, watching the ceiling spin
C#m
the next evening when my friends walked in
Bm
and when I asked them if they knew where I'd been
E D
they didn't speak at first, they only grinned
A
You see I'm not the type to get in fights
C#m
but that might not have been the case last night
Bm
because they heard that I had a word or two
E
with a man who asked, "Is she with you?"
F#m Bm7
And if I took it the wrong way
E A
I guess that's not for me to say
F#m Bm7
though it seems I may have slipped up
E Fdim
when I offered him some grooming tips
F#m Bm7
But at least that helps explain
E A
the cuts and bruises on my head
F#m Bm7
from the night I can't remember
E A
with the girl I can't forget
Bridge:
C#m F#m Bm E C#m
F#m
And it's all coming back now
Bm
Don't know how to react now
E
Guess I'll let it go
I'm not so sure I want to know
A
Well I was back at work at 9:15
C#m
when a message popped up on my screen
Bm
It said, "Pick me up at 8:45
E
and we can give it one more try"
F#m Bm7
And now that I'm with her
E A
the whole thing seems a bit absurd
F#m Bm7
though she never fails to tell the tale
E Fdim
of the time she had to post my bail
F#m Bm7
And for giving me a second chance
E A
I'm forever in her debt
F#m Bm7
since the night I can't remember
E D A D A D A Bm A A6
she's the girl I won't ever forget
