D5 D5 I?ve never been lucky G5 D
 At picking up women G5 D
 But this life that I live E5 A
 Is not one that I choose G5 D
 She was a waitress G5 D
 With hair blond and curly G5 D
 With a pretty black dress A5 D
 And those japanese shoes
 CHORUS: A
 A5 Man I need to impress her G5 D
 ?cause I?d like to undress her G5 D
 I need a song about sonja A5 D
 When I?m singing tonight D
 D5 She looked so pretty G5 D
 As she poured my coffee G5 D
 But she had her eye E5 A
 On my friend at the bar G5 D
 And I watched her watch him G5 D
 And I watched her thinking G5 A5 D
 I wish her eye was on me

 Chorus
 A
 A5 And if I could sing her G5 D
 A tender love ballad G5 D
 I?d hope that the audience E5 A5 might sing along G5 D
 But I can?t find the right way G5 D
 To tell her my feelings G5 D5 A
 And still make the words rhyme with sonja
 D5 D5 No I?ve never been lucky G5 D
 At picking up women G5 D
 But this life that I live E5 A
 Is not one that I choose G5 D
 She was a waitress G5 D
 Now she?s gone forever G5 D
 And I?m stuck with this song A5 D
 That I never will use
 A5 A5 
 Man you need to impress her G5 D
 If you want to undress her G5 D
 Sing a song about sonja A5 D
 When you?re singing tonight G5 D
 Sing a song about sonja A5 D
 When you?re singing tonight
