V1
I just gotta say, I saw you once before, by the time I got my nerve you were out the door
I promised myself if I saw you again, I'd risk looking' like a fool in front of your friends.
And I was thinkin' maybe you were just like me,
that you're mendin' somethin' someone broke and wanted to see
If there was someone here to take a chance with, maybe someone you could dance with
Maybe get a lil crazy, come on take a chance with me


C1
Take a chance and dance with me, you're not the only broken heart in Tennessee and
Its not even midnight, don't walk away, just stay, it's alright
Let me be your last first chance that you'll ever have to take
We can dance away the sadness and raise a glass to you and me
And all the broken hearts out in Tennessee

V2

I know its not the time, its never the place, to say so much to one who has just seen your face
Here I am holding all of it in, everything I should have said and where to begin
And to see you this close I knew it would be so hard to find the words stirring inside of me
But I'm done letting you walk away without you hearing what I have to say


C2
Take a chance and dance with me, you're not the only broken heart in Tennessee and
Its not even midnight, don't walk away, just stay, it's alright
Let me be your last first chance that you'll ever have to take
We can dance away the sadness and raise a glass to you and me
And all the broken hearts out in Tennessee


Bridge
It feels like I've waited forever to be right here standing in front of you
I don't care, let your drunk friends stare, I just need to know what you're gonna do tonight


C3
Take a chance and dance with me, you're not the only broken heart in Tennessee and
Its not even midnight, don't walk away, just stay, it's alright
Let me be your last first chance that you'll ever have to take
We can dance away the sadness and raise a glass to you and me
And all the broken hearts out in Tennessee
