Am7Em As I walk up her street Am7Em I lift my head up and I face yer Am7Em You look good and you smell sweet Am7Em It makes it harder to embrace yer Am7Em If I was back in primary Am7Em In a playground I would chase yer Am7Em But Im not, Im just me Am7Em And though you might be what I’m looking for
BmEm But my head wont function properly BmEm And my feet don’t move in time BmEm And next week I’ll forget probably BmEm But today you blow my mind Am7Em And as we talk I go all red Am7Em And I’m feeling like a school kid Am7Em All these thoughts that fill my head Am7Em I bet I say something stupid Am7Em Just play it cool, and keep it calm Am7Em And remember what you mother said Am7Em “Now boy, just use your charm” Am7Em But all that good advice gets lost somewhere
BmEm Cause my mouth just won’t work right today BmEm Oh my head is full with lines BmEm If only I could find the words to say BmEm We could spend a lifetime
