[Asus2] [A6/9]
[Bsus2] [B]
[E] [Esus4] [E]
Verse 1
[E]I know you broke up with him
And your heart's still on the shelf
[Esus4] [E]It's been over two years for me
And I'm [B7]still not quite myself
[C#m]You can't be with someone new
And [D/A]you can't go back to him
[C#m]You're beginning to realize
That [D]it's sink or swim
[B] [E]I see you around sometimes
And my heart just melts
[Esus4] [E]Looking like if you had your wish
You'd [Bsus4]be somewhere [B]else
[C#m]And it just breaks my heart
[D/A]To see you here [A]this way
[C#m]Someday I'll get the nerve
To [D]walk up to you and [B]say
Chorus
[E]This is the last worthless evening
That [E/G#]you'll have to spend
[Bsus4]Just gimme a chance
To [B]show you how to [A/E]love again
[E]This is the last worthless evening
That [A]you'll have to spend
[F#m]Cause I'll be there
When [A]your broken heart is [Bsus4]on the [B]mend
Verse 2
[E]Every night it's the same old crowd
In smokey rooms
[E]You catch a faint glimpse of love sometimes
But [B]it never blooms
[C#m]I've been around this block
A [D/A]time or two
[A]And I've made some big mistakes
But [C#m]girl I promise you, I [D]promise [B]you
Chorus
[E]This is the last worthless evening
That [E/G#]you'll have to spend
[Bsus4]Just gimme a chance
To [B]show you how to [A/E]love again
[E]This is the last worthless evening
That [A]you'll have to spend
[F#m]Cause I'll be there
When [A]your broken heart is [Bsus4]on the [B]mend
Bridge
[B/A]Time time ticking, ticking away
[B]Time time ticking, ticking away
Verse 3
[E]People inside their houses
With the shades pulled down
[E]God knows we could use some romance
In [B]this sleepy bedroom town
[C#m]I know you're still afraid
To [D/A]rush into anything
[A]But there's just so many summers
And [D]just so many [B]springs
Chorus
[E]This is the last worthless evening
That [E/G#]you'll have to spend
[Bsus4]Just gimme a chance
To [B]show you how to [A/E]love again
[E]This is the last worthless evening
That [A]you'll have to spend
[F#m]Cause I'll be there
When [A]your broken heart is [Bsus4]on the [B]mend
Outro
[E] [G#m7]
That you'll [Amaj7]have to spend
[F#m7]Just [B]give me a chance, darling, to show you how to [A/E]look again
[E]This is the last worthless evening that [A]you'll have to spend
Because [F#m]it won't be long till [A]your broken heart is [B]on the moon
[E]
