Intro:
       C/G
There was a lonely guy named Robert
      Em
Who was feeling kind of down
    Am
So he got himself a beer
    E
And he sat there with a frown
   F                   Am
His girlfriend just broke up with him that day
           Em     G
So things were not okay

Verse 1:
   C/G            Em
So he got himself a Lyft without any hesitation
    Am
Driver said, "where are you going?"
    E
I don't have a destination
     F                Am
He said "I know a nice bar that has great booze"
            Dm    E
Well I have nothing to lose
   Am               Em
So he got out of the car and made his way inside the bar
   E               Am
The driver out the window yelled "please give me five stars"

Verse 2:
  F                 G
He then sat down to get a drink from the bartender by the sink
    E                G           (G-->C in piano)
That's when he saw the very thing that changed his whole reality
  C             Em     Am
And oh, it was the prettiest face in the world
             Dm
She was unlike any other girl
                    Gsus4    G
She smiled and her teeth were white as pearls, oh yeah
        C   F-C
Like any other girl
(Fast) F               G
So he got up from his seat cause his heart skipped a beat
    Am
It was time to change his day
     G
He knew just the thing to say
     C (once)
He said "hey"
     C (once)
She said" hey"
     C (once)
He said "hey"   (PAUSE)
      C (once)
He said "sorry to interrupt"

Verse 3:
    F (once)
Robert walked back to his seat
    G (once)
As he accepted his defeat
     Em
Then he finished up his beer
    Am
As he lost all of his cheer
     F
Then he felt the hand upon his shoulder
G
As the air grew even colder
   E       G
She said before he drank another
 C          Em
"Sorry about what happened with my brother"
   C         Em
"I thought that was your man"
    C       Em
"It's just my brother Dan"
   C
"Hey Dan"
   C (with higher C)
"Hey man"
    F        E
So he got right up off of his chair
     G (arpeggio G until cut off)
Then he ran his fingers through her hair and...
