[Intro]
 A   E   Bm   D(x2)
[Verse 1]
ASomewhere between druEnkenness and chivalry
BmI hold the door open and Dlet her pass through
AShe says thanks to me, Ein a British accent
BmAnd I try to answer her iDn the same voice
AShe laughs at me, says "EWhat was that supposed to be?"
BmI say, "I'm sorry, I'm Dfrom a different part of the countEry"
She says
[Chorus]
"ACome on, D/F#baby, F#mtry aBmgain
ACome on, D/F#baby, F#mtry aBmgain"
[Instrumental]
 A   E   Bm    Dx2
[Verse 2]
ASomewhere between Edrunkenness and sincerity
BmI smile at her for just a Dlittle too long
ACharlie's drinking wine, EJudy's laughing at him
BmShe says "I forget that you're Dsuch a fancy guy"
AHe tips his hat, Esays "M'lady, do you come here often?"
BmI swear I've seen them Ddo this one a hundred times Ebefore
[Chorus]
ACome on, D/F#baby, F#mtry aBmgain

[Verse 3]
ASomewhere between Edrunkenness and charity
BmShe puts her hand on the Dsleeve of my coat
AShe says "I've missed this"
I Esay, "I know, I've missed you, too"
BmShe says "I was actually Dtalking about your coat"
AShe makes me laugh
EOh, how she makes me laugh
BmI just let my head sink down and Dsing some deep songsE  
[Chorus]
ACome on, D/F#baby, F#mtry aBmgain
ACome on, D/F#baby, F#mtry aBmgain
[Instrumental]
 A   E   Bm    Dx2
[Verse 4]
ASomewhere between Edrunkenness and jealousy
BmI watch her talking to Dsome old friend
AWhat a reunion, he Erecognised her across the room
BmHow many years could there Dbe to catch up on?
AAnd somewhere between Edrunkenness and honesty
BmI make a silent toast Dto the things that I do and don't Emiss
[Outro]
