CHonestly I didn’t Gmean to cry so Amhard
But the heartache was Cpouring in like rain
 DI didn’t mean to show I care
CHonestly I didn’t Gmean to laugh so Amloud
But it just sounds Cso absurd to
DSay that you want me
DSay that you need me
after Feverything you’ve done
CReally truly I Gdidn’t mean to Amhurt you
I just Cthought that maybe Dnow
We’d have better luck the Dsecond time around
                      F                      GF\G  
 Its always better the second time I hear
Chorus:
GFind me in the Gevening when your Dready to Ddance
And I will Gtake you to Gplaces
                           D                      C  G\F\
where you never thought you'd have the chance to love
 ELove, CLove is all we Dhave
I will Crun myself in Dcircles here withGout you
CPlease believe that I Gtried my best to forAmget you
but the memories keep Cflooding back like Dtears
I didn’t mean to fall in love
But Csitting here Gwaiting for this is Amtorture
I'm so gClad you're far Daway
Is that a Dterrible thing to Fsay?
                        F    GF\G  
Well, I wonder if you're ok
Chorus:
GFind me in the Gevening when your Dready to Ddance
And I will Gtake you to Gplaces
                          D                       C  G\F\
where you never thought you'd have the chance to love
 ELove, CLove is all we Dhave
I will Crun myself in Dcircles here withGout you
Oh, I would Crun myself in Dcircles here withGout youG  
Oh, I've Ctried and tried
And I Dcan't hide from your Glove
GDarlin' its too latCe to Dshow me your GintentionsG  
You know we’ve Cgot to find a Dway
To get past Gall the impliGcations, Cevery situDation
            C                  D  G\  F  E  
Every complication that we've come from
 CLove is all we Dhave
