Someday, when GI come aCround

So tonight, I'm dancing away
BRIDGE:
GI knew a guy and Fwe used to Csay
You live like you're spinning aGround
We used to Cdance while the Fband used to Cplay
FSlowly we sifted the Gsand
CHe caught the G6bus ten Am7years ago toFday
And Che hasn't Cadd9called me in Gnine
I Cthink now and G6then when I'm Am7acting some Fway
How he Cpromised to Gkeep me in Cline
AmHe chased the Gsun 'til it Fmade him turn Cbright
And the band put their Cadd9instruments Gdown
AmI'm gonna Gcatch him, buddy, FI just Cmight
Someday, when GI come aCround
CHORUS;
When I come aFround, I'm a fool and a Cstranger
I come aGround, it's a Fdamn what they Csay
When I come aFround, dragging the Canchor
So toGnight, I'm Fdancing aCwayG  F  C
