   A#
I don't have time and it's Friday night
                                             G#
Been sleeping with two eyes open looking for you, for you
     A#
The kind of girl who won't apologise
                                         G#
Something cool in her oceans washes over you, over you
     A#
And I'm just trying to catch her eyes
Her blue jeans don't fit quite right
     G#
She smiles
Yeah, she smiles

Chorus:
A#
I don't know how, I don't know why
I'm just trying to make a connection
G#
To the left, to the right
I'm just trying to make a connection
A#
And in your eyes a silhouette
I'm just trying to make a connection
G#
I'm not a man to walk away
                                      A#
I'm not a man to walk away from a connection

The morning sun caresses her skin
My mouth is dry as Gordon's gin but I feel alive
Feel alive
She said "I don't believe in love at first sight
But you can take me home if it feels alright, oh baby
Oh baby"
I said "You drink as fast as Hemingway
But you still know all the right words to say, oh baby
Pretty baby"

Chorus

A#           Cm7
(Connection, connection)
G#           D#
(Connection, connection)
I'm not a man to walk away from a connection
A#           D#
(Connection, connection)
G#
(Connection, connection)

A#                         D#
You always felt so out of place
As the light hits your face
G#
And the dust falls from your eyes
You said you never want to say goodbye
A#
We took a cab to the white light
Cm7
You said you don't want to end the night
G#
And I said "I'm not a man
I'm not a man to walk away from a connection"

Chorus:
A#
I don't know how, I don't know why
(Connection, connection)
Cm7
I'm just trying to make a connection
G#
To the left, to the right (Connection, connection)
I'm just trying to make a connection
 A#
And in your eyes a silhouette
(Connection, connection)
Cm7
I'm just trying to make a connection
G#
I'm not a man to walk away (Connection, connection)
I'm not a man to walk away from a connection

A#           Cm7
(Connection, connection)
G#
(Connection, connection)
                                           A# Cm7 G#
I'm not a man to walk away from a connection
