D
The band was startin' Slow Hand
About the time you walked in
I could see it in your eyes
You were heart broke and needin' a friend

     G
The singer started singin' as
                        D
I let you have my bar stool
       Em                           A
And before that first Chorus was through

Chorus:
         G
You were already smilin'
   Em
I said no use in tryin'
D
Open up a tab, oh girl I'm gladly buyin'
 G
Ain't it funny thinkin'
            D                      Em
You were thinkin' you be drinkin' alone
 G                            A
Baby ain't it crazy what can happen
           D
In half a song

The second verse started
I asked you if you'd like to dance
When you said no,
I figured well there goes my chance
But the singer kept on singin'
And before he hit that Chorus again

Chorus:
I felt you grab my hand
Then we bee-lined to the floor
like we'd done this before
Holdin' onto you one, two, three, four
Spinnin' and a-gettin' in a rhythm,
girl it didn't take long
Baby ain't it crazy what can happen in half a song

That song ended, said we've only got one more
Now we're halfway through and we're
still out here on the floor
Wonder what you're thinkin'
'Cause I think I'd like to drive you home
But I know that's probably never gonna happen
I'll just settle for your number on a napkin
Then again you never know what could
happen in half a song
Half a song
