(INTRO) D    G    D   G    Bm    A    G     A


(D) He never had (G)given much thought to (D) dancin' (G)
(D) But, she gave alot of (G) thought to bein' (D) asked (G)
Well, he'd never been (A) good, at comin' (D) right on out and (Bm) askin'
(G) She'd never been given the (A) chance
But, somethin'  (Bm) moved them cross that (A) old gym floor
And (D) fear was (D/F#) holdin' (G) fast (D/F#)
And to (Em) his surprise the words came at (A) last

And (D) she said (G) yes
To his (D) half-hearted re(G)quest
And they (D) held on for dear (G) life till the last song (A) played
No, they (D) won't let (G) go - it's (D) beyond their con(G)trol (D/F#)
They lit a (Em) flame with the (G) match God had (A) made
When she said (D) yes

(D) And they sure did (G) shine in its (D) light (G)
And he knew as (A) long as (D) this ol' world kept (G) turning (D/F#)
(Em) He wanted her by his (A) side
So with a (Bm) ring and a (A) nervous smile
And some (D) lines that (D/F#) he'D re(G)hearsed (D/F#) 
He said the (Em) sweetest words that she'd ever (A) heard

And (D) she said (G) yes
To his (D)whole-hearted re(G)quest
And they'll (D) hold on for dear (G) life till the last stars (A) fade
No, they (D) won't let (G) go - it's (D) beyond their con(G)trol (D/F#)
They lit a (Em) flame with the (G) match God had (A) made
When she said (D) yes
