         D                              Em   G
It's the right time but it feels fine tonight (I don't know why you don't want me)
         D                                   Em   G
It's the right place, I've got my new face tonight (I don't know why you don't want me)
           D                                   Em   G
I'm in the right mood, I've got my new shoes tonight (I don't know why you don't want me)
            D                                 Em    G                          A
I've got my new dress, I couldn't hurt less tonight  (I don't know why you don't want me)


Chorus:
G                                  D                      A
Somebody told me I was so cold and mean (who was that talkin')
G                                         D                           A
Somebody wants you and don't want me in between (she better start walkin')
G                    Bm              A
Somebody hurt you but baby she wasn't me

We'll find a new name for such a old game tonight  (I don't know why you don't want me)
I'll show you how long that I can go on tonight  (I don't know why you don't want me)
I don't know why you don't want me

Bridge:
Bm
Just when I think that I can make it without you
A
You come round and say you want me now
Em
You tell me don't leave and I want to believe you
G                      A
Why can't you see just how much I need you

Chorus

Well, it's the last chance for a romance tonight (I don't know why you don't want me)
There'll be no next time if you won't be mine tonight (I don't know why you don't want me)
I don't know why you don't want me 
I don't know why you don't want me
I don't know why you don't want me
I don't know why you don't want me
I don't know why you don't want me
I don't know why you don't want me
