Gm            C            Gm       C
You and your baby had some words today
Gm        C              Gm       C
til not another word was left to say.
Gm           C       Gm
I see that grin, boy maybe you think you'll
 C         Gm       C                Gm     C
win, boy until the sun goes down and once again, boy

Chorus:
A#          D#  A#           D#
One lonely night one lonely night.
A#             C        A#     Dm  Gm    C
That's all it takes to completely break you.

They say it's darkest
Right before the dawn
But, oh, those darkest hours
Can be so long

You're feelin' strong, boy
Tellin' yourself she's wrong, boy
But how much longer can
This night go on, boy

Chorus - x2

A#   Fm                D#   F
Ooo ooh, she's such a good find.
A#    Fm           D#        C
Have you gone and lost your mind?
A#    Fm              D#       C/E  A# F Gm C
You should know she's one of a kind.

Ooh, she's such a good find
Have you gone and lost your mind
You should know she's one of a kind

Chorus
