D The band was startin' Slow Hand About the time you walked in I could see it in your eyes You were heart broke and needin' a friend G The singer started singin' as D I let you have my bar stool Em A And before that first Chorus was through Chorus: G You were already smilin' Em I said no use in tryin' D Open up a tab, oh girl I'm gladly buyin' G Ain't it funny thinkin' D/F# Em You were thinkin' you be drinkin' alone G A Baby ain't it crazy what can happen D In half a song The second verse started I asked you if you'd like to dance When you said no, I figured well there goes my chance But the singer kept on singin' And before he hit that Chorus again Chorus: I felt you grab my hand Then we bee-lined to the floor like we'd done this before Holdin' onto you one, two, three, four Spinnin' and a-gettin' in a rhythm, girl it didn't take long Baby ain't it crazy what can happen in half a song That song ended, said we've only got one more Now we're halfway through and we're still out here on the floor Wonder what you're thinkin' 'Cause I think I'd like to drive you home But I know that's probably never gonna happen I'll just settle for your number on a napkin Then again you never know what could happen in half a song Half a song You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA ![]() D ![]() Em ![]() F# ![]() G ![]() Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
