Since this song hasn't been tabbed on this site yet, I figured I'd take a shot at it.
The strumming pattern is pretty easy enough, just listen to the song. The solo is about
95% right, but there are a few places where it's a little iffy. Just go with it.
VERSE I:
You're the silent type
And you caught my eye
But I never thought that I'd
Be touchin' you
How was I to know
I'd let my feelings go
And that I'd be yours before
The night was through yeah!
CHORUS:
One night love affair
Tryin' to make like we don't care
We were both reachin' out for somethin'
Ohh
One night love affair
Pretendin' it ain't there
Ohh, and now we're left with nothin'
INTERLUDE I:
VERSE II:
When the morning breaks
We'll go our seperate ways
If the night was made for love
It ain't for keeps
Now I lose control
As I watch you go
All my senses say I'm in this
Much too deep, now you're outta reach
CHORUS: (slightly altered)
One night love affair
Tryin' to make like we don't care
We were both reachin' out for somethin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah
One night love affair
Pretendin' we don't care
Ohh, and now we're left with nothin'
Hey
