{intro} 
 

          C5      C5     C5      C5     C5  C5  C5  C5 
I'm going out tonight to find myself a friend 
         C5         C5        C5        C5        C5  C5  C5  C5 
I need a welcome smile and the grasp of an open hand 
      F5        F5         A5         A5    F5         F5       A5        A5 
Gonna sit for hours in a small dark place, catch up with a long lost face 
C5           C5      C5        C5     C5  C5  C5  C5 
  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 
 

G5      G5          E5    F5       F5        F5   F5   F5 
  Underneath the moon so bright, I wanna fall tonight 
  G5         G5   G5   F5 
Beneath a spell 
G5      G5          E5   F5     F5         F5         F5          F5 
  Underneath the sky so clear, I wanna find someone waiting there 
            G5        G5   G5   G5 
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 
 

          C5      C5     C5      C5      C5  C5  C5  C5  C5  C5  C. 
I'm going out tonight to find myself a friend
