| G | C | |
| The bar was empty, I was s | weepin' up the floor |
| D | C | G | |
| That's when she walked in, I said "I'm s | orry but we're c | losed" |
| C | |
| And she said "I know, but I'm a | fraid I left my purse" |
| D | C | G | |
| I said " | I put one back behind the bar, | I bet it's probably y | ours" |
| Am | C | D | G | |
| And the | next thing that I | knew there we w | ere, lost in c | onversation |
| Am | C | Am | |
| And before I handed her her p | urse I said, "y | ou'll only get this back |
| D | |
| On one c | ondition" |
| (chorus) |
| G | C | D | |
| And we danced, o | ut there on that empty hardwood | floor |
| C | |
| The chairs up and the lights turned way down | low |
| D | |
| The music played we held each other c | lose |
| G | |
| And we d | anced. |
| G | C | |
| And from that moment, there was n | ever any doubt |
| D | C | G | |
| I had found the one that I had a | lways dreamed a | bout |
| G | C | |
| And then one evening, when she | stopped by after work |
| D | C | G | |
| I pulled a diamond ring out of the p | ocket of my s | hirt |
| Am | C | |
| And as her e | yes filled up with t | ears, she said |
| D | G | |
| "This is the last thing I e | xpected" |
| Am | C | |
| And then she | took me by the h | and and said |
| Am | C | D | |
| "I'll o | nly marry y | ou on one co | ndition" |
| (chorus) |
| C | D | |
| Like no one else had ever danced be | fore |
| C | |
| I can't explain what happened on that f | loor |
| D | |
| But the music played we held each other c | lose |
| G | C | G | |
| And we d | anced, | yeah we d | anced. |
