Capo 1
[Intro]
D G C G
[Verse 1]
GIn the pale neon light of a CSaturday nGight
You'll see him walk up to the Cbar
DHe'll Gsize up the ladies, the "Cno's" and the "Gmaybe's"
Till he Emifinds one who'll let down her Dguard
Then the Cband on his hand gets slipped off again
And his Gdisarming charm starts to Cwork
And with a Gdrink and a Clie, in the Gblink of an Ceye
DSomething amazing Goccurs
[Chorus 1]
He's suddenly Csingle
DInstantly Emifree
And for three or four Dhours
He's the man of her Gdreams
He acts like there's Cno one Dwaiting at EmihomeC  
He'll be suddenly AmisinglGeC  
Till he's sudDdenly gGone
[Verse 2]
GHe sneaks through the door at a Cquarter to Gfour
But tonight there's no one to Cwake
DThe Gnote that she wrote him says, "I've Cgiven up Ghoping
I'd be Emiable to change you someDday."
He Csits on the bed, shaking his head
A Gman in complete disCbelief
He Gknows what he's Clost
Oh, but Ghe never Cthought
DSomeday, he'd really Gbe
[Chorus 1]
He's suddenly Csingle
DInstantly Emifree
And for three or four Dhours
He's the man of her Gdreams
He acts like there's Cno one Dwaiting at EmihomeC  
He'll be suddenly AmisinglGeC  
Till he's sudDdenly gGone
[Outro] 
He's suddenly AmisinglGeC  
'cause she's Dsuddenly CgoneD  G
