Lyle Lovett
D (xx0232@1) DI've (xx0232@1)never been lucky
G (320003@1) D
At picking up women
G (320003@1) D
But this life that I live
Em (022000@1) A
Is not one that I choose
G (320003@1) D
She was a waitress
G (320003@1) D
With hair blond and curly
G (320003@1) D
With a pretty black dress
A (x02220@1) D
And those japanese shoes
CHORUS:
A
AMan (x02220@1)I need to impress her
G (320003@1) D
'cause I'd like to undress her
G (320003@1) D
I need a song about sonja
A (x02220@1) D
When I'm singing tonight
D
DShe (xx0232@1)looked so pretty
G (320003@1) D
As she poured my coffee
G (320003@1) D
But she had her eye
Em (022000@1) A
On my friend at the bar
G (320003@1) D
And I watched her watch him
G (320003@1) D
And I watched her thinking
G (320003@1) A (x02220@1) D
I wish her eye was on me
Chorus
A
AAnd (x02220@1)if I could sing her
G (320003@1) D
A tender love ballad
G (320003@1) D
I'd hope that the audience
Em (022000@1) Amight (x02220@1)sing along
G (320003@1) D
But I can't find the right way
G (320003@1) D
To tell her my feelings
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) A
And still make the words rhyme with sonja
D (xx0232@1) DNo (xx0232@1)I've never been lucky
G (320003@1) D
At picking up women
G (320003@1) D
But this life that I live
Em (022000@1) A
Is not one that I choose
G (320003@1) D
She was a waitress
G (320003@1) D
Now she's gone forever
G (320003@1) D
And I'm stuck with this song
A (x02220@1) D
That I never will use
A (x02220@1) A (x02220@1)
Man you need to impress her
G (320003@1) D
If you want to undress her
G (320003@1) D
Sing a song about sonja
A (x02220@1) D
When you're singing tonight
G (320003@1) D
Sing a song about sonja
A (x02220@1) D
When you're singing tonight
