INTRO:

C7 (8 bars)

VERSE 1:

C7
    I knew that I had drunk too much
    I had passed my drink degree
    I climbed into my rented car
    I was happy as could be

           F7
    Then I pulled out of the driveway

                            C7
    And the lights began to blur

        F7
    Within a mile the car was stopped

                       C7
    By a police officer - she said

Em7                  Dm7
    "Did you see the light was red?

Em7                 F7
    Did you see the light at all?"

Em7                      Dm7
    Then I fell into her open arms

               F7
    And that's all that I recall

VERSE 2: (as VERSE 1)

    I knew that I had danced before
    But it never made the news
    Surprised to find my two left feet
    In John Travolta's shoes
    I hogged the space around a girl
    I found so full of verve
    Then I moved in slowly for the kill
    And watched her body swerve,
    She said "did you know I'm not impressed
    With the way you dance at all"
    Then I fell into her open arms
    And that's all that I recall

CHORUS:

C                   Dm
    Blacked out and wasted

C                   Dm
    I had to be persuaded

            Am            Am/G
    With my view a little jaded

                F
    That I was about to go

                G
    Down like a domino

                F/A
    Down like a domino

                C7
    Down like a domino

VERSE 3:

C7
    I knew that I had said too much
    But tact was not my way
    Tears were on her bottom lip
    She had nothing more to say except

Em7                    Dm7
    "Did you know this love we have

Em7                     F7
    has made me feel so small"

Em7                      Dm7
    then I fell into her open arms

               F7
    and that's all that I recall

REPEAT CHORUS
