Here are the chrds D x5777xx (so this is actually an E) D/C# x4777xx G 355433 Bm xx4432 A(*) x0222x D5 xx023x G(*) 320003 I’ll never forget the first day I met her That September morning was clear and fresh The way she spoke and laughed at my jokes and the way she rubbed her dress against the edge of my desk (same as first verse) She became a magic mystery to me and we’d sit together in double history twice a week and some days we’d walk the same way home and its surprising how quick a little rain can clear the streets (chorus) I dreamed of her in my bed of dreams but that was all that I ever tasted she lied to me with her body you see and I lied to myself bout the chances I wasted low E and A strings) (same as first verse except where noted) The times we were close were few and far between in the darkness of the dances of the school cantene did she close her eyes as I did when we held each other tightly and lalalalalalalalala..... means I love you (flute solo over verse chords whistle if you’ve got the chops :) ) (same) She danced with me and I still hold that memory soft and sweet and eyes stared out the window as I walked down her street but I never made the first team I just made the first team laugh and she never came to the phone she was always in the bath In the end it took me a dic - tionary to find the meaning of unrequited while she was giving herself for free at a party to which I was never invited (same) I never understood my feeling then and I hide my humble hopes now Thinking back she made us want her A girl not old enough to shave her legs
