Are you waiting for someone to meet you here?

Well that makes two of us,
E           A
Glad you came.

That later on, I could drive you home?

No I don't mind at all,
D                E              D              E
Oh I like you too and to tell you the truth
E      Bm          E             A
That wasn't my chair after all.
A   D           E              D               E
Oh I like you too and to tell you the truth

That wasn't my chair after all.
