Capo 2
D G
Now I really should have known that you'd show up sooner or later
D G
Knowin' every Friday night they always have your favorite band
Em A
Though someone new is with you at our table
Em A D G A
Would it be too much for me to ask to ask you not to dance
Chorus:
D D/F#
Not tonight, not until
G
My heart's had some time to heal
Em
Not right now, til I'm gone
A
I won't be here very long
D D/F#
And when I leave, you can stay
G
And just dance the night away
Em
But 'til then, do you think
A
That there's a chance
D
I could ask you not to dance
I saw you slip the leader of the band a piece of paper
I knew what song they'd play before he took it from your hand
I wonderin' if you'd do me one last favor
And if the answer's no I'll understand, could I ask you not to dance
Chorus
Chorus (goes up ½ step to D#)
