Verse

You’re sitting on your couch the days are getting longer

And that feeling like you ain’t worth a damn is getting stronger

So you pick up the phone and call a man that you used to know

You tell him "meet me at that dive bar where we used to dance”

And I promise I’m not looking for some sappy romance

I just want to feel something tonight, as long as it’s not alone

Bridge

And he agrees to meet

And you know it’s temporary

But at least the feeling’s gone for now

Chorus

Maybe it will be alright

Even if it’s just one night

You’ll be hailing a cab and

he’ll be paying the tab

And you’ll be taking him home

At least you won’t be alone

And maybe it will be alright

But he ain’t no shiny-armored knight

(Instrumental x2)

Verse 2

So you talk about the weather and how work is going

And you put on a poker face but your Ace is showing

So you stop and just say “hey, what do you think?”

I’ve been thinking about you for a long time now

And I know we don’t work not then not any how

But the night is getting darker and this place is calling out last drink

But it's not a movie scene

It’s not your fairytale dream

But it’s better than the nightmare of you sleeping alone

Chorus

Maybe it will be alright

Even if it’s just one night

You’ll be hailing a cab and

he’ll be paying the tab

And you’ll be taking him home

At least you won’t be alone

And maybe it will be alright

But he ain’t no shiny-armored knight

(Instrumental x2)

Bridge

These men they only want you when your desperate for attention

But you’re worth so much more, if you can get past the obsession

With thinking that you ain’t no good until someone else can prove it to you

You’re the only one that needs to know that you’re perfect just by being you

Pre-Chorus (finger-picking)

Maybe it will be alright

Maybe you just need tonight

Chorus (strumming)

Maybe it will be alright

Even if it’s just one night

You’ll be hailing a cab and

he’ll be paying the tab

And you’ll be taking him home

At least you won’t be alone

And maybe it will be alright

But he ain’t no shiny-armored knight

(Instrumental x4)
