[Verse 1]
C
Gon' stay in, no need to see some cover charge dive tonight
C
Gonna listen to a record 
       G
Gonna wake up feelin' right
          C
Then the telephone rings and it's on with some jeans
C
A couple friends for a drink or two
          Am                  G
Said you weren't going out tonight
              C
And then you do
     C
You show up late, it's already loud
 C
Dart boards and dollar beer
 C
Laugh at some jokes and step through the crowd
             G
And she's shinin' like a souvenir
     C
The perfect shade of hazel eyes
C
Out of your league, it's true
       F                         G                 C
Never think you'll get her to dance and then you do


[Chorus]
C        C/B           Am
You hold out, you hang on
                         F
You rush in, get it all wrong
                               G
Then you break up and go back to
G
Who you were when lonely's all you knew
 C       C/B              Am
You get numbers, you get names
                               F
Get banged up from all love's games
                                       G
Swear you're done falling for someone new
                                 C
You think you won't but then you do


[Verse 2]
    C
You wait a few nights before you call
C
You're playin' your cards close
C
The "hello" turns into a laugh
     G
Six months, the next thing you know
     C
It's whiskeys with her brother
C
Making space in a one bedroom
        F                  G                   C
Never thought you'd find forever, and then you do


[Chorus]
C        C/B           Am
You hold out, you hang on
                         F
You rush in, get it all wrong
                               G
Then you break up and go back to
G
Who you were when lonely's all you knew
 C       C/B              Am
You get numbers, you get names
                               F
Get banged up from all love's games
                                       G
Swear you're done falling for someone new
                                 Am
You think you won't but then you do


[Bridge]
Am                         G
Then straight out of the blue
                          F
When you least expect her to
                                   G
She says "Goodbye" and rips your world in two


[Chorus]
C        C/B           Am
You hold out, you hang on
                         F
You rush in, get it all wrong
                               G
Then you break up and go back to
G
Who you were when lonely's all you knew
 C       C/B              Am
You get numbers, you get names
                               F
Get banged up from all love's games
                                       G
Swear you're done falling for someone new
                                 C    C/B Am
You think you won't but then you do


[Outro]
    F           G
Oh yeah, you do
C
Mm, mm
