[Verse]
Bm G
In the back of the room
A C#
It was there that I saw you
F#m B
In a shirt that you wore
Em7 A7
Knowing I'd be in the store
F# Bm
Then you left, down the stairs
G A C#7
Follow you I wouldn't dare
F#m B7
I accepted my fate
Bm E7 A A7
That I'd never see your face again, again
[Chorus]
D Em A F# Bm
Oh bookstore girl, I wonder what your name is
E A A7
You know you're famous in my group of friends
D Em A F# Bm
Oh bookstore girl, I feel a sudden urge to
E A A7
Purchase the book you shelved the other day
[Post-Chorus]
D Em A A7
Bookstore girl
D Em A F#
Bookstore girl
[Verse]
Bm
Going back, just to see
G
If still in the store you'd be
F#m B G A F#
Reading only the books that you'd recommend to me
Bm Em A7
Knowing more than just your name
G#m F#m
It wouldn't be the same
B Bm
Remaining fantasy
E A A7
That's more romantic to me (to me)
[Chorus]
D Em A F# Bm
Oh bookstore girl, I wonder what your name is
E A A7
You see, the shame is, I might never know
D Em A F# Bm
I'll always have the Adler, Stein and Nelson
E A A7
Authors I fell in love with when I met
[Post-Chorus]
D Em A A7
Bookstore girl
D Em A F#
Bookstore girl
C#m F#
I asked you foolishly
Bm F#m
If you work 'til 3
D E
On a Sunday afternoon
G Gm D
Bookstore girl, I'll see you soon
E
(oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-yeah)
G Gm F#m Em D
Bookstore girl, I'll see you soon
