I burned my hand, I cut my face 
Fma7/E        C        G 
Heaven knows how long it's been 
Fma7/E      C   G           C 
Since I've felt so out of place 
Fma7/E                    G 
I'm wonderin' if I'll fit in.

Debbie and Charlie said they'd be here by nine 
Fma7/E             C           G 
And deb said she might bring a friend 
Fma7/E    C             G       C 
Just my luck, they're right on time 
Am             G 
So here I go again.
[Refrain]
          Fma7/E          C 
I'm gonna smile my best smile 
                G                            C 
And I'm gonna laugh like it's going out of style 
     Fma7/E             C                  Am    G 
Look into her eyes and pray that she don't see 
      Fma7/E      C     G 
That learning to live again is killing me.

Little cafe, table for four 
            Fma7/E      C           G 
But there's just conversation for three 
Fma7/E      C          G           C 
I like the way she let me get the door 
  Fma7/E       C            G 
I wonder what she thinks of me.

Debbie just whispered, "you're doin' fine" 
  Fma7/E        C           G 
And I wish that I felt the same 
      Fma7/E        C         G             C 
She's asked me to dance, now her hand's in mine 
      Am                        G 
Oh, my god, I've forgotten her name.
[Refrain]
              Fma7/E          C 
But I'm gonna smile my best smile 
                G                            C 
And I'm gonna laugh like it's going out of style 
     Fma7/E             C                  Am    G 
Look into her eyes and pray that she don't see

Now here we are beneath her porch light 
     Fma7/E        C              G 
And I say what a great time it's been 
 Fma7/E         C         G        C 
A kiss on the cheek, a whisper goodnight 
      Am                    G 
And I say, "can I see you again".
[Refrain]
             Fma7/E            C 
And she just smiles her best smile 
          G                             C 
And she laughs like it's going out of style 
     Fma7/E             C           Am      G 
Looks into my eyes and says, "we'll see" 
         Fma7/E      C     G        C 
Oh this learning to live again is killing me 
          Fma7/E      C     G        C 
God this learning to live again is killing me
