One drink too many    (video)

 

    C - G      - C - G

 

                    C

1. Well, the table is set, the candles are lit

G

    and there's the knock on the door.

                                            G7

    Boy! She's looking pretty all dressed up

               C

    now, who could have wished for more.

                                                      C7

    Yeah, we wined and dined and all was fine,

       F

    knowing that she was game

             G                                G7

    but then I went and really spoiled it all

          G                             G7

    by filling up my glass again.

 

        C                                             G

For one drink too many took the smile right off of her face,

                  G7                                 C            G              C

one lousy drink too many took the girl right out of my place,

                                                C7

Well, I tried to talk her out of going home,

             F

but instead I fell flat on the floor.

 

           G                               G7

+ And all I remember is a great big bang,

        G                                                     G7

    I guess she must have slammed the door.

 

                  C

2. Well, a couple of days and a hangover later,

G

    she gave me one more chance,

                                              G7

    but only if I took her to "CHEZ MAXIM"

             C

    for a fancy dinner and dance.

                                         C7

    So we came to seek cheek to cheek

 

 

 

 

              F

    that moment we'd known before,

             G                            G7

    but then I went and did it all again

          G                                    G7

    by filling up my glass once more.

 

        C                                             G

For one drink too many took the smile right off of her face,

                  G7                                 C            G              C

one lousy drink too many took the girl right out of my place,

                                               C7

Well, I tried to talk her out of going home,

             F

but instead I fell flat on the floor.

 

           G                               G7                              G                      G7

+ And all I remember is a 'cha-cha-cha' with the bouncers at the door.

 

 

+ repeat verse 2, lines 1 to 4 as instrumental       + CHORUS

 

        G                                G7                   G                         G7

+ I guess I need to work it out again like keeping myself ashore.

 

   C                                   - G

+     One drink too many,         one drink too many,

G7                                - C

    one drink too many,        one drink too many.
