"A Waltz For A Night"
By Julie Delpy
From "Before Sunset" (2004)
This is a beautiful and simple little piece from one of my favorite movies.
I tabbed it so my friend could play it while learning how to play guitar.
So the main parts of the song are called "Intro/Verse" and "Bridge 1".
I only diagrammed them once, then throughout the song,
I indicated when to play them over the corresponding lyrics.
There is only one major variation (besides some rhythmic changes)
called "Bridge 2/Change", it is diagrammed in the middle of the song for you.
Good Luck!

Let me sing you a waltz
Out of nowhere, out of my thoughts
Let me sing you a waltz
About this one night stand

You were for me that night
(Intro/Verse)
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/j/julie-delpy/74020.html ]
Everything I always dreamt of in life
But now you're gone
You are far gone
All the way to your island of rain
(Bridge 1)
It was for you just a one night thing
(Intro/Verse)
But you were much more to me
Just so you know
I don't care what they say
I know what you meant for me that day
(Bridge 2/Change)

I just wanted another try
(Bridge 1)
I just wanted another night
(Intro/Verse)
Even if it doesn't seem quite right
You meant for me much more
Than anyone I've met before
(Bridge 1)
One single night with you little Jesse
(Intro/Verse)
Is worth a thousand with anybody
I have no bitterness, my sweet
I'll never forget this one night thing
(Bridge 1)
Even tomorrow, in other arms
(Intro/Verse)
My heart will stay yours until I die
Let me sing you a waltz
Out of nowhere, out of my blues
Let me sing you a waltz
About this lovely one night stand
