          C      C(9)     C      C(9)     C  C(9)  C  C(9) 
I'm going out tonight to find myself a friend 
         C         C(9)        C        C(9)        C  C(9)  C  C(9) 
I need a welcome smile and the grasp of an open hand 
      F        F         Am         Am    F         F       Am        Am 
Gonna sit for hours in a small dark place, catch up with a long lost face 
C           C(9)      C        C(9)     C  C(9)  C  C(9) 
  And talk about how long it's really been 
 
I'm going out tonight with perfume on my wrist 

I'm need to find someone to show me what I've missed 

And when I see that someone sittin' there, gonna tell your memory I don't care 

If he offers something more than just a kiss 
 

G      G          Em    F       F        F   F   F 
  Underneath the moon so bright, I wanna fall tonight 
  G         G   G   F 
Beneath a spell 
G      G          Em   F     F         F         F          F 
  Underneath the sky so clear, I wanna find someone waiting there 
            G        G   G   G 
Who used to know me well 
 
I'm going out tonight without a chaperone 

I'm gonna leave that meddling heart of mine at home 

'Cause it don't like crowds or closing time, neon blues or pickup lines 

It makes me spend my Friday nights alone 
 
Underneath the moon so bright {first guitar solo} 

Underneath the sky so clear {second guitar solo} 
 
I'm gonna tell myself that someone I adore 

Is the one I'm with, ain't that what friends are for 

'Cause my empty arms are open wide; I'm long on spite, and short on pride 

And the old way isn't working anymore 
 

          C      C(9)     C      C(9)      C  C(9)  C  C(9)  C  C(9)  C. 
I'm going out tonight to find myself a friend
