Chords
This is an older song of FoW's. They recycled some of the lyrics to make "The Girl I Can't Forget"
on the album Out-of-State Plates.
[Verse 1]
A Bm Hey now baby, don't be shy G D A I saw you with another guy A Bm He was short but his hair was long D A He had your sunglasses on
[Pre-Chorus]
E Ba bada ba ba ba, whoa-whoa E D Ba bada ba ba ba, whoa-whoa
[Verse 2]
A Bm He picked you up in a German car D A Took you out to an Irish bar A Bm Where you drank beer from a plastic cup D A Til you were barely standing up
[Pre-Chorus]
E Ba bada ba ba ba, oh-whoa E Ba bada ba ba ba, oh-whoa
[Chorus]
D And now you've got some explaining to do A So come on baby won't you tell me the news D I don't know who you think you're trying to fool A But I know where you've been going E A so don't bother with the bowling shoes
[Verse 3]
A Bm Tuesday night you were out again D A With a bunch of your stoner high school friends A Bm Called me up, said you might be late D A Then you ended up in another state
[Pre-Chorus]
E Ba bada ba ba ba, oh-whoa E Ba bada ba ba ba, oh-whoa
[Chorus]
D And now you've got some explaining to do A So come on baby won't you tell me the news D I don't know who you think you're trying to fool A But I know where you've been going E A so don't bother with the bowling shoes
[Bridge]
C# D I want a love that'll last forever F#m E D But it seems like you and me just can't quite get it together C# D I want a lover I can take for granted F#m Bm D But you give me the blues each time I caught you red-handed
[Interlude]

[Verse 4]
A Bm Hey now baby, don't you lie G D A I saw you with another guy A Bm He looked dumb but it sure did smart D A When you held his hand and it broke my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
E Ba bada ba ba ba, oh-whoa E Ba bada ba ba ba, oh-whoa
[Chorus]
D And now you've got some explaining to do A So come on baby won't you tell me the news D I don't know who you think you're trying to fool A But I know where you've been going E A so don't bother with your bowling-- F#m E Know where you're going D so don't bother with your bowling-- A Know where you're going G D so don't bother with your bowling shoes
[Outro]
