Yes I know I'm late, gettin' home tonight
E B7
Can supper wait I guess I've lost my appetite
E E7 A
Yeah, you can fix me a drink and anything's okay
E B7 E
Oh by the way, I met a friend of yours today
E7 A
I was working on the other side of town
E B7
And come home I thought I'd stop and have a round
E E7 A
And in this bar I heard someone speak your name
E B7 E
And that's how, I met a friend of yours today
E E7 A
I'd listen for a while and I could tell
E B7
That, that stranger there he knew you much too well
E E7 A
And I introduced myself and man you should've seen his face
E B7 E
Oh what a shame, I met a friend of yours today
E E7 A
Please don't cry woman, 'cause it's much too late for tears
E B7
Yeah and I'm sorry too, 'cause it hurts after all these years
E E7 A
**And ain't it sad a love like ours should end this way
E B7 E
**And all because I met a friend of yours today
Repeat**
