Verse 1:
G#5              Bb5                    C5
  She's standing there with her perfect hair
               C#                  G#5
I'd ask her to dance Make such a romance
          Bb5                  C5
Lofting I turn i'm heading her way
                 C#5
each step that I take brings closer to fate


(Repeat 2nd part of Intro twice)


Verse 2:
G#5            Bb5                  C5
  Build up the courage to go say hello
                    C#5                 G#5
She looks me in the eye and flatly says no
           Bb5                  C5
Rejected I run outside for some punch
          C#5
Put on my headphones and listen to punk

this really nice girl walks right up to me
G#5                Bb5                          F5
  Her stunning red dress and her black converse on
              C#5
She says dont worry and takes me by the arm
