"Never Knew Your Name"
[Verse 1] 
       Gm
It was very late in the discotheque
      F
I was feeling blue as I sometimes do
  C
I turned around it was time to go
  Dm
A face in the crowd, a face I didn't know
[Verse 2]
   Gm
We got to talking for a little while
    F
You said it's not the sort of thing you usually do
C
Talking to strangers so late in the night
               Dm
These days you never know
[Verse 3]
       Gm
Well I thought you were nice I even told you so
        F
But you smiled so shyly and said to me
  C
I bet you say that to all the girls you meet
       Dm
But it isn't so
         Gm
Yes, the club was closing so we had to leave
   F
We walked out together just a little ill at ease
  C
I would have liked to have walked you home
        Dm
But you said you'd catch the bus so I ended up alone
[Chorus]
        Gm                                F
I never knew your name nor your telephone number
                C            Dm
Will I ever see you again? I wonder?
[Verse 4]
   Gm
It wasn't any longer than an hour or two
     F
That lonely street I said goodbye to you
    C
You glanced back at me as I turned the corner
        Dm
Was the last I saw of you
[Verse 5]
     Gm
Oh I wanted to call, call out your name
    F
But stupid pride and idiot shame
C
Hesitated, scared of playing the fool
       Dm
So you walked away, from Mr Cool
[Chorus]
        Gm                                F
I never knew your name nor your telephone number
                C            Dm
Will I ever see you again? I wonder?
            Gm                                F
No, I never knew your name nor your telephone number
           C                    Dm
Will I see you again? Oh girl I wonder?
[Verse 6]
              Gm
'cause it was very late in the discotheque
      F
I was feeling blue as I sometimes do
  C
I thought you were nice I told you so
      Dm
But I ended up alone
[Chorus]
            Gm                                F
No, I never knew your name nor your telephone number
                C                 Dm
Will I ever see you again? Girl I wonder?
[Outro]
        Gm
It's so very late in the discotheque
        F
and I'm feeling blue as I always do
  C                                  Dm
I turn around 'cause it's time to go
