Am7
First time I saw you
F9
Back in 1982
Am7
An L.A bar, I've come so far
F9
In my kansas dancing shoes
Am7
I'm just a singer
F9
And i'm looking for a song
Am7                  F9
Do you wanna sing along?

Am7
Two greyhounds later
F9
And I'm feeling alright
Am7
I've got to have you
F9
And it must be tonight
Am7
Come on back to my place
F9
Well it's really just a room
Am7                            F9
But I'll be making some money soon


SOLO: Am7 F9 (over duration)


Am7
Goodbye and thank you
F9
Oh my number yeah - please phone
Am7
Two or three weekends
F9
On the 405 alone
Am7
You say come on and stay
F9
And when you sing down at the bar
Am7                 F9
It will not be so far


C9
And I try to do my best
Am
I never meant to hurt no one
Dm
I was waiting for my break
G
That I knew one day would come
C9
And I plug in my guitar
Am
And I'd look out across the room
Dm
And I'd dig into my heart
G
And I try to sing the truth
C9                Am
And I know I did my best
                   Dm   Em  F9
I never meant to hurt no one


SOLO: Am7 F9 (over duration)


Am7
As I recall
F9
Back in 1982
Am7
I never said goodbye, or why
F9
I just left a note for you
Am7
Then one night I saw you
F9
Across the road, across the dark
Am7                        F9
A shameful spear into my heart
Am7
Your look was haunting
F9
An unexpected pain
Am7
I am so sorry
F9
For the unexpected rain
Am7
The sadness that you kissed
F9
The fresh scars on your wrist
Am7                F9      C9
I can't make it go away........
                    Am
And I try to do my best
                       Dm
I never meant to hurt no one            
                       G
I was waiting for my break
                      C9
That I knew one day would come
                     Am
And I plug in my guitar
                            Dm
And I'd look out across the room
                      G
And I'd dig into my heart
                      C9
And I try to sing the truth
                     Am
And I know I did my best
                   Dm Em F9
I never meant to hurt... no one, no one, no one
