^G I was s^A#itting there in a c^F5omfortable chair and that was all that I ^Gneeded, ^G Then my friend o^A#ffered me a ^F5drink for us to share and that was all that I ^Gneeded,

^A#Then I f^C5elt at ^A#ease, But then I’m ^D5not too ^C5hard to p^D5lease, I guess you ^F5*couldn’t ^F#5*call me ^Ggreedy,

^G Then I was s^A#hocked to look up and see ^F5Rita Hayworth there in a place so ^Gseedy, ^G She wa^A#lked into the bar wit^F5h her long, red, curly hair and that was all t^Ghat I needed,

Then I s^A#aid ^C5to my f^A#riend, ‘Good ^D5God, we’re ^C5lucky ^D5men, ^F5*Just to ^F#5*even s^Gee her’

^G I could ^A#not resist, I just ^F5had to get close to her and that was all that ^GI needed, ^G I walked and l^A#oomed around her t^F5able for a while and that was all t^Ghat I needed,

Then I said, ‘I h^A#ate to ^C5bug you ^A#ma’am, But can I ^D5have your ^C5autog^D5raph?’ And that was ^F5*all ^F#5*that I ^Gneeded

^G She pressed her l^A#ips against^F5 a white piece of paper and that was all that I^G needed, ^G Then I^A# saw what she wrote^F5, my heart is in my mouth and that was all th^Gat I needed,

Then she ^A#handed ^C5it to ^A#me, And I ^D5think that s^C5he could s^D5ee, That, that was ^F5*all ^F#5*that I ^Gneeded,

^G I start^A#ed to walk away but^F5 then I remembered Hey, I forgot to ^Gget a picture, ^G So I asked her ^A#one more time, ‘Could I ^F5have another favour?’ That was I all that I ^Gneeded.

She was ^A#kind and ^C5posed with ^A#me, Then I ^D5knew my ^C5friends would ^D5see, My ce^F5*leb - ^F#5*rity ^Gmeeting,

^G And she ^A#said to me, ‘I ^F5need to go to sleep’ and it seemed so ^Gmean, ^G It’s almost ^A#as if she did ^F5not appreciate how cool I was ^Gbeing,

She said, ‘^A#Good night’ and ^C5walked a^A#way, And I ^D5didn’t know ^C5what to ^D5say. I just ^F5*could - ^F#5*n’t be^Glieve it.

^G Well, it’s just n^A#ot fair, I want^F to get a piece of hair and that was a^Gll that I needed ^G Well ma^A#ybe a kiss on the cheek, I wou^Fldn’t wash it for a week. That was all t^Ghat I needed

Well she d^A#idn’t ^C5even ^A#care, That ^D5I was ^C5even ^D5there, What a ^F5*hor - ^F#5*rible f^Geeling.
