Just Once

C                    D                      A
Run through his head, and straight past his heart.
Well I might not stand a ghost of a chance,
                            N/C
You're a one man woman not a one night stand.
C                  D                  A
You're not the kind to let it go that far.
      C
But I wouldn't think twice,
            D                 E
If you ever changed your mind.
     G          D
Just once, what I wouldn't do,
   A
To get my arms 'round a woman like you.
     G         D                          A
Just once, I'd love to know what its like.
     G       D
Just once, before I die,
     A
What I wouldn't give for just one night.
     G      D     A     (Riff 1)
Just once......or twice.
Gazing in to your big brown eyes,
Tonight I'm a little bit hypnotized.
C               D                    A
What makes a man put himself through this?
I can't count the times I've held my breath
                         N/C
As you walked past to control myself.
C               D                 A
I think its time to get it off my chest.
        C                        D            E
So what I'd like to say, is if I had my way...
     G          D
Just once, what I wouldn't do,
   A
To get my arms 'round a woman like you.
     G         D                          A
Just once, I'd love to know what its like.
     G       D
Just once, before I die,
     A
What I wouldn't give for just one night.
     G      D     A
Just once......or twice.

       C                         D                      E
If you changed your mind, well I wouldn't think twice...
     G          D
Just once, what I wouldn't do,
   A
To get my arms 'round a woman like you.
     G         D                          A
Just once, I'd love to know what its like.
     G       D
Just once, before I die,
     N/C
What I wouldn't give for just one night.
     G      D     A     (riff 2)
Just once......or twice.
     G      D     A     (riff 3)
Just once......or twice.
