Am
There's a first time for everything
          Dm
It's definitely one of them nights (nights)
     G
I knew when I looked in his eyes (eyes)
                                 Am
That he was gonna be trouble for me
 Dm
I never wanted to lie (lie)
     G
I knew that my baby would cry
                           Am
If he knew what we were doin'
         F                     G
But if his love don't pass the test (the test)
  C              G               Am
I gotta get it from somewhere else
           F                   G
Well, I'm grown and I need a man
     Em
Hope he understands


[Chorus]
   G          Am
Forgive me, baby
            F        G        Am
But I gotta take a chance tonight
            F       G
So I'm doin' me, myself
    Am
And I can't wait no more
   F           G
Sittin' all alone
  Am                 F          G        Am
Man, I really hope, hope you forgive me, hey (oh oh)
 F          G        Am
Hope you forgive me, hey (oh oh)
 F          G         Am
Hope you forgive me, hey (oh oh)
 F             G
I can't wait no more
 Am                  F          G        Am
Man, I really hope, hope you forgive me, hey


[Verse 2]
             Am              Dm
Been a long time since I did something good for myself (-self)
        G
But why should I be put through hell (hell)
  Em                          Am
When he's doin' what he wanna do?
         Dm
And I finally found somebody else (else)
       G
Who really wants to make me feel
   Em                           Am
Things that I've been missing so long
        F                       G
And his love always passed the test (the test)
    C             G                 Am
It's a shame I had to look somewhere else
           F                  G
Well, I'm grown and I need a man
           Em
I just hope that he understands


[Chorus]
   G           Am
Forgive me, baby
             F       G        Am
But I gotta take a chance tonight (oh, well I'm taking)
             F       G
So I'm doin' me, myself
    Am
And I can't wait no more
    F          G
Sittin' all alone (alone)
  Am                  F          G       Am
Man, I really hope, hope you forgive me, hey (oh oh)
  F          G       Am
Hope you forgive me, hey (oh oh)
  F          G       Am
Hope you forgive me, hey (oh oh)
  F             G
I can't wait no more
   Am                F          G
Man, I really hope, hope you forgive me,

[Bridge]
F               G                     C
Forgive me, but I need to be loved too
               Am                        F
Forgive me, but I can't wait around for you
           Em                       F
Forgive me if I found a man who understands



[Chorus]
   G           Am
Forgive me, baby
              F       G      Am
But I gotta take a chance tonight
             F      G
So I'm doin' me, myself (woo)
    Am
And I can't wait no more
    F          G
Sittin' all alone
   Am                F           G       Am
Man, I really hope, hope you forgive me, hey (oh oh)
  F          G       Am
Hope you forgive me, hey (oh oh)
  F          G       Am
Hope you forgive me, hey (oh oh)
 F               G
I can't wait no more
  Am                  F         G        Am
Man, I really hope, hope you forgive me, hey
              F      G       Am
But I gotta take a chance tonight
              F      G
So I'm doin' me, myself (I'm doin')
    Am
And I can't wait no more
    F         G
Sittin' all alone (oh ooh)
   Am                 F        G         Am
Man, I really hope, hope you forgive me, hey
