[Intro]
G Bm Am Dsus4 D
[Verse 1]
G Well, she picked me up in a German car Bm And she took me out to an Irish bar Am Where I drank some beer in a plastic cup D C 'Til I had some trouble standing up G And then she drove downtown to a strobe-lit space Bm Where all the guys wore chains and the thumping bass Am Was so intense I could barely feel my face D Then I think I asked her back to my place
[Chorus 1]
Em Am7 But that's all I recall D G And when I woke up in the hall G/F# Em Am7 I was alone and softly groaning D B7 And I lost my keys, and I lost my phone Em Am7 And I wondered what I did or said D G That I might soon regret G/F# Em Am7 It was the night I can't remember D G With the girl I can't forget
(G) Bm Am Dsus4 D
[Verse 2]
G Well, I was reeling, watching the ceiling spin Bm The next evening when my friends walked in Am And when I asked them if they knew where I'd been D C They didn't speak at first, they only grinned G You see, I'm not the type to get in fights Bm But that might not have been the case last night Am Because they heard that I had a word or two D B7 With the man who asked, "Is she with you?"
[Chorus 2]
Em Am7 And if I took it the wrong way D G I guess that's not for me to say G/F# Em Am7 Though it seems I may have slipped up D B7 When I offered him some grooming tips Em Am7 But at least that helps explain D G The cuts and bruises on my head G/F# Em Am7 From the night I can't remember D G With the girl I can't forget
[Interlude]
(G) Bm Em Am D
[Bridge]
Bm And it's all coming back now Em Don't know how to react now Am Guess I'll let it go D I'm not so sure I want to know
[Verse 3]
G Well, I was back at work at 9:15 Bm When a message popped up on my screen Am It said, "Pick me up at 8:45 D And we can give it one more try"
[Chorus 3]
Em Am7 And now that I'm with her D G The whole thing seems a bit absurd G/F# Em Am7 Though she never fails to tell the tale D B7/D# Of the time she had to post my bail Em Am7 And for giving me a second chance D G I'm forever in her debt G/F# Em Am7 Since the night I can't remember D C G/B C G/B C G/B Am G G6 She's the girl I will never forget
