C                             G7
Yesterday, as I talked with a friend in town
G7                              C
I forgot to remember that you'd gone
C               C7           F
For a moment, I found myself smilin'
      C      G7         C
But a moment isn't very long

[Verse 2]
C                                 G7
An' last night as I danced with a stranger
G7                                 C
An' she held her cheek close to my own
C               C7            F
For a moment, I almost forgot you
      C      G7         C
But a moment isn't very long

[Chorus]
C                          G7
Every now an' then I get a chance to smile
G7                                        C
But those every now an' thens just last a little while
C                                  G7
An' tonight I've got a date with a new love
                                  C
But I know I'd do just as well at home
C                           F
For a moment, maybe I could forget you
      C      G7         C
But a moment isn't very long

[Chorus repeat]
C                          G7
Every now an' then I get a chance to smile
G7                                        C
But those every now an' thens just last a little while
C                                  G7
An' tonight I've got a date with a new love
                                  C
But I know I'd do just as well at home
C                           F
For a moment, maybe I could forget you
      C      G7         C
But a moment isn't very long
