bend.

Chorus: You’re
gonna reject me. You’re gonna reject
me.
A F# D E
Just like all of them other
chances I took.
D A F#
You’re gonna reject me. You’re gonna reject me.
D F# D E A

2. It’s so long I’ve been waiting for someone
to save the last dance,
A E
and it’s not so often that I
get this good of a chance,
A D A F#
but it’s not so often lately
that my chances work out,
D E A
and it’s hard to speak up
when you’re feeling so much self-doubt.
Chorus

A
Bridge: Wait! Hold it! On second

on the line, it always comes out in a mess.

3. I know that it’s better to lose than to
never to play.
A E
But when it actually
happens, it never really feels that way.
A D A F#
You’re damned if you do, but
if you don’t it’s really the pits.
D E A
So don’t look too shocked,
and try not to laugh if
