Reba McEntire, Why Not Tonight (1986)
Key: :[F#] (w: Jon Vezner, David Stringfellow, Nancy Montgomery)
VERSE 1:
[F#] Well pardon me but you have my attention, ever since you strolled into the
[C#] room
Believe me that it's not my intention, if I appear to come on too
[F#] smooth
It's
[F#] not like me to make such advances, but this time baby I could not re-
[B]-sist
So if you're up for taking a
[F#] chance on
[D#m] love, I
[B] can't see a
[C#] better time than
[F#] this
[F# open]
CHORUS:
So baby
[F#] why not tonight, This could be the start of something
[C#] right
Hey you can take it easy, We can take it so slow, We can take it anywhere that you'd like to
[F#] go
So baby why not tonight, The stars are out and I'm sure they'll a-
[B]-gree
Oh it's a perfect night for
[F#] falling in
[D#m] love, So
[B] why not fall in
[C#] love with
[F#] me
VERSE 2:
Oh
[F#] maybe we could go out for some dinner, And later on how we could do the
[C#] town
Ya know I consider myself a winner, Just to have a boy like you a-
[F#]-round
Then
[F#] if you're up for doing some dancing, Yeah I know a place they dance until the
[B] dawn
Anything you like will
[F#] be al-
[D#m]-right, so
[B] why not take a
[C#] chance and come a-
[F#]-long
[F# open]
CHORUS:
So baby
[F#] why not tonight, This could be the start of something
[C#] right
Hey you can take it easy, We can take it so slow, We can take it anywhere
[F#] that you'd like to go
So baby why not tonight, The stars are out and I'm sure they'll a-
[B]-gree
Oh it's a perfect night for
[F#] falling in
[D#m] love,
So
[B] why not fall in
[C#] love, so
[B] why not fall in
[C#] love
So
[B] why not fall in
[C#] love with
[F#] me
