A# I don't have time and it's Friday night G# Been sleeping with two eyes open looking for you, for you A# The kind of girl who won't apologise G# Something cool in her oceans washes over you, over you A# And I'm just trying to catch her eyes Her blue jeans don't fit quite right G# She smiles Yeah, she smiles Chorus: A# I don't know how, I don't know why I'm just trying to make a connection G# To the left, to the right I'm just trying to make a connection A# And in your eyes a silhouette I'm just trying to make a connection G# I'm not a man to walk away A# I'm not a man to walk away from a connection The morning sun caresses her skin My mouth is dry as Gordon's gin but I feel alive Feel alive She said "I don't believe in love at first sight But you can take me home if it feels alright, oh baby Oh baby" I said "You drink as fast as Hemingway But you still know all the right words to say, oh baby Pretty baby" Chorus A# Cm7 (Connection, connection) G# D# (Connection, connection) I'm not a man to walk away from a connection A# D# (Connection, connection) G# (Connection, connection) A# D# You always felt so out of place As the light hits your face G# And the dust falls from your eyes You said you never want to say goodbye A# We took a cab to the white light Cm7 You said you don't want to end the night G# And I said "I'm not a man I'm not a man to walk away from a connection" Chorus: A# I don't know how, I don't know why (Connection, connection) Cm7 I'm just trying to make a connection G# To the left, to the right (Connection, connection) I'm just trying to make a connection A# And in your eyes a silhouette (Connection, connection) Cm7 I'm just trying to make a connection G# I'm not a man to walk away (Connection, connection) I'm not a man to walk away from a connection A# Cm7 (Connection, connection) G# (Connection, connection) A# Cm7 G# I'm not a man to walk away from a connection You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  Cm7  D#  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
