ive never been lucky
G D 

at picking up women
G D 

but this life that i live
Em A 

is not one that i choose

with hair blond and curly
G D 

with a pretty black dress
A D 

and those japanese shoes 


chorus :

man i need to impress her
G D 

cause id like to undress her

she looked so pretty
G D 

as she poured my coffee
G D 

but she had her eye
Em A 

on my friend at the bar
G D 

and i watched her watch him
G D 

and i watched her thinking
G A D 

i wish her eye was on me 
 


chorus 

A 
 A
and if i could sing her
G D 

a tender love ballad
G D 

id hope that the audience
Em A
might sing along
G D 

but i cant find the right way
G D 

to tell her my feelings
G D A 

and still make the words rhyme with sonja 

D D

G D 

at picking up women
