HALF A SONG

CODY JOHNSON

[Intro]

D Bm D Bm

[Verse]

D Bm

The band was startin' Slowhand

D Bm D Bm D Bm

About the time you walked in

D Bm

I could see it in your eyes

D Bm D Bm D Bm

You were heart broke and needin' a friend

[Chorus]

The singer started singin'

D Bm D Bm

As I let you have my barstool

Em A

And before that first chorus was through

You were already smilin'

I said no use in tryin'

D Bm D Bm

Open up a tab, oh girl I'm gladly buyin'

Ain't it funny thinkin'

D Em Bm

You were thinkin' you be drinkin' alone

G A

Baby ain't it crazy what can happen

D Bm D Bm

In half a song

[Verse]

D Bm

The second verse started

D Bm D Bm D Bm

I asked you if you'd like to dance

D Bm

When you said no

D Bm D Bm D Bm

I figured well there goes my chance

[Chorus]

But the singer kept on singin'

D Bm D Bm

And before he hit that chorus again

Em A

I felt you grab my hand,

Then we bee-lined to the floor

Like we'd done this before,

D Bm D Bm

Holdin' onto you one, two, three four.

G D

Spinnin' and a gettin' in a rhythm,

Em Bm

Girl it didn't take long

G A

Baby ain't it crazy what can happen

G Em

In half a sooooooong

[Instrumental/Solo]

D Bm G D Em Em7 Em Em7 Em Em7 Em

[Verse]

D Bm

When that song ended,

D Bm D Bm D Bm

We said we've only got one more,

D Bm

Now we're half way through it

D Bm D Bm D Bm

And we're still out here on the floor

[Chorus]

Wonder what you're thinkin'

D Bm D Bm

'Cause I think I'd like to drive you home,

Em A

But I know that's probably never gonna happen,

Bm E

I'll just settle for your number on a napkin

Em A

Then again you never know what could happen

D Bm D Bm

In half a song,

D Bm D

In half a song
