[Verse]
You were all done up,
But it wasn't for me.
You were up at the front
To tap on your feet.
I was back at the bar.
You had your eyes on the stage.
You had an "X" on your hand
To tell them your age.
C Am
I didn't put my money on it.
C
But I was
Dadd9
Hoping that you would be here.
C Am
If I was something that you ever wanted,
C
Then I'm all ears.
Dadd9
I'm all ears.
[Chorus]
C Em Am
You made a wish at 11:11.
G D
I held your hips at 12:34.
C Em Am
There was a kiss just waiting to happen.
G Bm
A cab was calling outside the door.
C Em Am G
Oh,
D
I knew from the beginning.
C Em Am G
Oh,
Bm
it was you from the beginning.
(Play intro)
[Verse]
Excuse the disguise,
Or the ones before.
I've been convincing myself
There could be something more.
Em
I said, "If you go home
D
And you get on the phone,
C G
And you tell your girlfriends about me,
Em
I'll go home
D
And I'll sleep on my own,
C Dadd9
And dream of a girl named Lonnie."
C Am
Those others couldn't hold a candle to ya,
C
But you were
Dadd9
glowing in the dark.
C Am
I was nervous just standing with you.
C Dadd9
You were glowing in the dark.
[Chorus]
C Em Am
You made a wish at 11:11.
G D
I held your hips at 12:34.
C Em Am

C Em Am G
Oh,
D
I knew from the beginning.
C Em Am G
Oh,
Bm
it was you from the beginning.
C G
And you weren't even trying --
C
Your dirty blonde hair
Em G
Had me going wild.
C G
You were a little bit shy then.
Dm Am
There's no denying something so true.
C Em Am
You made a wish at 11:11.
G D
I held your hips at 12:34.
