[Verse]
G C
Start this off with a nervous scene:
G
I can see you standing there, but just like that
C
it's as if I forgot how to speak
G C
not a word I've rehearsed will come out
G
and here it goes again
She walked right by and didn't even care
C G
to glance to her left, where I stood with the blankest stare
Em G
if there's one thing I know, it's that I don't know a thing
about this stupid kind of situation
[Chorus]
C
Why do I lose my composure when I see a pretty little thing walking by?
G D
The worst part is she doesn't see that I'm picking on sunflowers,
Em G C
trying to convince myself that I've got a chance.
G C
I swear it's like I'm learning to walk and talk all over again
G Em C
I feel like a child but soon, the time's gone by and all I've got to show is
G
a thousand petals in my hands.
[Verse]
C G C
In most cases, I've got a reputation for not quite knowing the right words to say
G C
and this is no exception, I feel a connection
G C
did she feel it too? God knows I'll never have a clue.
G D
G C
I want this
D G
Em
and I need it
D G
Em
If it's just for a minute
G
all I need is a new beginning.
[Chorus]
C
Why do I lose my composure when I see a pretty little thing walking by?
G D
The worst part is she doesn't see that I'm picking on sunflowers,
Em G C
trying to convince myself that I've got a chance.
G C
I swear it's like I'm learning to walk and talk all over again
G Em C
I feel like a child but soon, the time's gone by and all I've got to show is
G
a thousand petals in my hands.
[Verse]
C G C
I won't say I've never felt this way before
G C
but girl, if you'll give me a chance,
G C
I'd love to make this so much more
G C G
Look me in the eye, and I'll tell you I don't want this
C G
I don't need this one bit.
C G
And if you call my bluff, won't kiss you softly without hesitation
C
not even for a minute.
[Chorus]

a thousand petals in my hands. (x2)

in my hands
