Capo on 4 Am E i'm an expatriate cut adrift Am E i caught a good glimpse of her smile and her midriff Am E Am E i got me a body full of soul, and now i got me a mind full of sangria Am E i didn't go there looking for trouble, Am E i singled her out earlier but now i'm seeing double Am E Am E and the bartender told me that both of their names were maria C G C G the castanets in her hands, clickity-clack my own understanding C G C -- G of what it means to have some rhythm in your soul D G with a stomp and a shuffle from her feet, D G she made me lose a little bit of the pace in my heartbeat D G D -- D7 it's never been more fun to lose control Am E her swirling skirt shows a little bit of thigh Am E the glass in my hand won't stop running dry Am E and all those flamenco guitars Am E keep rattling all of those bones in my ear Am E i guess its just too late Am E she can already see that i'm from the states Am E Am E i guess we all have a tendency to get a little loud when we come over here C G i'm sorry about the insult, C G but please i don't need another bar bouncer catapult C G C G i can find my own way to the door tonight D G yeah, and i'm finding it a little hard to walk D G D and this wine makes me yell every time i try to talk G D -- D7 look what your dancer did to me tonight Em C G D maria don't go, what are you doing after the show Am C G D these are the words i'll never get to say Em C G D maria i know, that i could be someone you'd like to know Am C G D but i'm in no condition to make any first impressions today (back to intro ( Am -- E )) Am E later that night in my hotel bed Am E the rhythm of the stomps and the claps still ringing in my head Am E Am E i begin more than a little bit to regret some of my excess Am E Am E i'll have to find another way, the very next time i'm gonna try to make a play Am E for a beautiful spanish dancer Am E and hope to have any kind of success C G was it the wine or the redness of her lips C G that made me lose all of the feeling in my fingertips C G C -- G i guess i never will find out D G was it the wind from the swish of her skirt D G D that blew my mind and swept me up like a featherweight flirt G D -- D7 i guess i never will find out Em C G D maria don't go, what are you doing after the show Am C G D these are the words i'll never get to say Em C G D maria i know, that i could be someone you'd like to know Am C G D but i'm in no condition to make any first impressions today Am E the next morning came with a ring from the phone-a Am E i was already late for the bus to barcelona Am E Am E i jumped outta bed and ran down the hall with my suitcase in my hand Am E i took the stairs; it was just one flight Am E made my way towards the door and into bright sunlight Am E Am E how i was still able to move, i don't think i'll ever understand C G but just as i stepped outside C G something inside caught my eye C G C -- G it was the beautiful dancer from the night before D G she was just sittin' in a hotel lobby chair D G reading magazines, and playing with a strand of her hair D G D -- D7 i wanted to speak but i went out the door Em C G D maria don't go, what are you doing after the show Am C G D these are the words i'll never get to say Em C G D maria i know, that i could be someone you'd like to know Am C G D but i'm in no condition to make any first impressions today Em C G D Hey, Maria stay (repeat) (because of the limited space, i hope this posts right)
