B C#m B A

(Intro)

B C#m

There's a bright light that's shinin' in your face

A Amaj7 B

You can't even see me at all

C#m E

Oh, you look like an angel out of place

A B7 E

At this downtown devil's bar

Emaj7

Do you wanna dance girl

A A6

You said no thanks

E Emaj7

And I watched you drift away

A

Well you had your chance

B7 C#m

You could've been the one

G#m A

Tonight you could've been the only one

B C#

For the rest of my life

G#m A

I'll be dreamin' of you when this dance is done

B7 E

Knowin' you could've been the one

Emaj7 A A6

C#m B

If I come back here I might see you again

A C#m B

And maybe you'd say yes

C#m B

But it's a losin' game I'm tryin' to win

A B E

And I can only guess

Emaj7 A

Do you have somebody (watchin')

A6

Who watches you

E Emaj7

As you let down your hair

A

By the light of the moon

B7 C#m

You could've been the one

G#m A

Tonight you could've been the only one

B7 C#m

For the rest of my life

G#m A

I'll be dreamin' of you when this dance is done

B7 E Emaj7 A

Knowin' you could've been the one

B7 E Emaj7 A B C#7

Knowin' you could've been the one

F# Bmaj9

Where do you go when the night ends

A#m C#7 F#sus4 F#

Are you just a dream that fades into gray

C# F# B

Visions of you will not leave me alone

F#m B7

Why did you have to turn away

C#m

You could've been the one

G#m A

Tonight you could've been the only one

B7 C#m

For the rest of my life

G#m A

I'll be dreamin' of you when this dance is done

B7 C#m

Knowin' you could've been the one

G#m A

Tonight you could've been the only one

B7 C#m

For the rest of my life

G#m A

I'll be dreamin' of you when this dance is done

B7 C#m

Knowin' you could've been the one ... (repeat and fade)
