[Intro]
D  G  D     G
        Yeah

[Verse 1]
                        D
I saw you movin' on the dance 
floor
                     G
I caught you lookin' over 
at me and my friends
                        D
Got my attention, now I want 
more
                G
I think we both know how 
this night's gonna end
                 D
The way that you move your 
hips to the rhythm of the beat
           G
You got me so nervous, 
think I need another drink
             Bm
But then you grabbed my hand, 
said, "Baby, come with me"
     G                
This wasn't a part of 
          A
the plan, no

[Pre-Chorus]
        Em                
But you look, you look so 
        A
perfect dancing next to me
  Em                 
I wish the sun would 
               A
look the other way

[Chorus]
         N.C.       
'Cause I never want 
              D
this night to end
                         G
Baby, we could turn back time
                D
Do it all over again
                        G
Tomorrow we can press rewind
                           D
We're staying at the Lotus Inn
                         G
Baby, we could turn back time
                Bm
Do it all over again
                        G
Tomorrow we can press rewind
  A                        D
I never want this night to end

[Verse 2]
                N.C.    
Played you this song up 
       D
on the stereo (What? Yeah)
              G
You played it over and 
over again
                       D
Before it even hit the radio, 
oh-woah-oh
                 G
Now they spin it over 
and over again
            D
We've had a few good nights 
and a couple of bad ones
  G
A few bad fights but 
I'm glad that they happened
           Bm
And at the end of the night, 
I can honestly say
          G             
I'd do it over and over 
          A
and over again, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
        Em                
But you look, you look so

I wish the sun would 
               A
look the other way

I never want this night to end
