C She told me that she loved me by the water fountain Am She told me that she loved me and she didn't love him G And that was really lovely 'cause it was innocent D But now she's got a cup with something else in it C It's getting kind of blurry at a quarter past ten Am And he was in a hurry to be touching her skin G She's feeling kind of dirty when she's dancing with him D Forgetting what she told me by the water fountain
C Now he's grabbing her hips and pulling her in Am Kissing her lips and whispering in her ear G And she knows that she shouldn't listen D And that she should be with me by the water fountain C She couldn't be at home in the night time because Am It made her feel alone but at that time she was G Too young D I was too young
C I should've built a home with a fountain for us Am The moment that she told me that she was in love G Too young D I was too young
C And if she ever goes back to the water fountain Am The handle will be broken and the rust set in G But my hand it will be open and I'll try to fix it D My heart it will be open and I'll try to give it
C Now I'm grabbing her hips and pulling her in Am Kissing her lips and whispering in her ear G And I know that it's only a wish D And that we're not standing by the water fountain Too young
C She couldn't be at home in the night time Am Because it made her feel alone G But at that time she was too young D I was too young
C I should've built a home with a fountain for us Am The moment that she told me that she was in love G Too young D I was too young Too young
C I should've built a home with a fountain for us Am The moment that she told me that she was in love G Too young D I was too young
