VERSE 

D             A       Em         G            D 
Love isn't always the way to a place we all know 

        A           Em           G  
Making up for lost time can be hard 


B      
I know this girl named Maggie Mahoney 

G 
Stole the dance and left me so lonely 

D                                      A    B  
Maggie please just give me a chance tonight 

B 
Swing you, sway you out on the dance floor 

G 
Your crooked smile making me laugh more 

D                                      A    B 
Maggie please just act like you care tonight 

Chorus 

            D                  A  
And if it's love you think I came here for 

              Em  
Well you're wrong 

                G 
Maggie you're wrong 

              D              A                   Em 
'Cause it's just one dance I've wanted for so long 

           G 
Maggie so long 

VERSE 

I know this girl named Phoney Mahoney 
Stole the dance and left me so lonely 
Maggie, please just act like you care tonight 
Swing you, sway you out on the dance floor 
Your crooked smile making me laugh more 
Maggie please just give me a chance tonight 

Chorus 

If it's love you think I came here for 
Well you're wrong 
Maggie you're wrong 
'Cause it's just one dance I've wanted for so long 
Maggie so long 

BRIDGE 

A         Em 
Maggie stay home 

        G                D 
'Cause we all know your old tricks 

A          Em  
Maggie listen close 

         G             A 
'Cause the sound makes us sick 

Chorus 

And if it's love you think I came here for 
Well you're wrong 
Maggie you're wrong 
'Cause it's just one dance I've wanted for so long 
Maggie so long 


If it's a second chance you're looking for 
Well I'm gone 
Maggie so long
