(chord pattern E F# A E repeats during verses)
If you can take a rain check on a stormy night
Then I will love you 'til you're old, like you're Betty White
You can hurt me any other day, pick a fight
But not on Monday, Tuesday, wednesday, Thursday, Friday night
And not the weekend either, cuz I got a song to write
I promise I'mma hear you out when the time is right
Let's have a talk, August 7, 20-99
At your place or mine?
{chorus}
E F#
Hey why you turn around and walk away
A
I know you got a lot to say
E
And I really want to talk about it, Just not today, not today.
Is there an instrument to measure all the heartache, and
A looking glass so we can see where all the magic went
I need a button I can push so we can start again
Cause girl you bring me to my knees, Nancy Kerrigan......
{chorus}
E
You can hurt me, You can hurt me, You can hurt me,
F#
You can hurt me, You can hurt me, You can hurt me, You can hurt me,
A
You can hurt me tomorrow, You can hurt me tomorrow,
E
You can hurt me tomorrow but girl save it for tomorrow.
