G5           B5
tonight all started
E5           C5
 as a double date
G5     B5                 E5     
 an excuse to ignore the heat
G5                B5
on the ride back to her place
    E5                       C5
her eyes sparkled with connection
G5      B5                    E5
 but i knew i wasn't getting nothing


G5          E5
there goes the parking brake again 
A5                C5
it's my last shot at rejection 
G5          E5
so i tried for a kiss to no avail 
A5                        C5
but at least i got what i expected


G5
she just looked and said "honestly, 
G5
you thought that you could get with me?"
G5                                             D5
i shrugged it off and let my eyes roll to the floor
G5
"i'll find my own way to the door,
G5
this is your last cue to get out of here"
G5                               C5
that didn't hurt cause i didn't hard


G5   B5      E5                C5
     with a beer bottle in my hand
G5  B5              E5
 i tried to hail a cab 
G5            B5
the man said jump in 
E5      C5
"my old friend" 
G5          B5          E5
 and i was headed home again 


G5
the driver waits for a while 
E5
he said with a smile
A5                                C5 
i remember last time i came to st paul 
G5
i picked up some drunken wrecks
E5 
who needed all one detest
A5                                        C5
to check, if they got burned by backstage sex


G5               
the whole band, rode on one girl 
G5
who left out a small detail 
G5                                      D5
that she got dosed and they were gonna burn like hell
G5
i paid the man and step outside
G5
into the downpour until he left me 
G5                                  C5
i meant to ask if the car had been sterilized

G5
cause those are the thing most troublesome
A5
hot days and wet nights following 
E5
who was that girl backstage
C5
is it the one that just denied me

G5 - E5 - A5 * - C5
god i hope so     
oh god i hope so 
god i hope so 

*In this switch from Am to C the root note goes from A-B-C
so on the fourth beat of the Am play a C/B chord
