VS1:
Em                     C
Its been a long time coming
Em                      C
As you shed a lonesome tear
G                        C
And now you're in a wonder-ama
G                          C
I wonder what you're doing here

VS2:
Em                    C
The flame no longer flickers
G                           C
You're feeling just like a fool
G                           C
You keep staring into your liqour
G                 C
Wondering what to do

CH:
D                      C
I don't hardly know you but I'd be willing to show you

I know a way to make you smile

Let me touch you for a while

VS3:
Em                         C
I'm gonna ruin my black mascara
Em                                        C
You're drinking whiskey when it should be wine
G                              C
You keep on looking into that mirror
Em                                   C
But to me you're looking really fine

CH/Bridge:
D                       C
I don't hardly know you, but I'd be willing to show you
D        B7/D#             Em           Em/D#
I know a way to make you laugh at that cowgirl
         Em/D             A/C#
As she's walking out the door
C         D               Em
I know a way to make you smile
             Em/D#                 Em/D          A/C#
Just let me whisper things you've never heard before
C            D             F             D              G
Just let me touch you baby, just let me touch you for awhile

Its been a long time baby, let me touch you for awhile
