Capo 2
DG
Now I really should have known that you'd show up sooner or later
DG
Knowin' every Friday night they always have your favorite band
EmA
Though someone new is with you at our table
EmADA
Would it be too much for me to ask to ask you not to dance
Chorus:
DD/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
DD/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#)
