D/C# x4777xx

G 355433
Bm xx4432
A( ) x0222x
D5 xx023x
G( ) 320003
D D/C# A G A D
I'll never forget the first day I met her
D/C# A G A
That September morning was clear and fresh
D D/C# A G A
The way she spoke and laughed at my jokes
D D/C# A G A
and the way she rubbed her dress against the edge of my desk
(same as first verse)
She became a magic mystery to me and we'd
sit together in double history twice a week
and some days we'd walk the same way home
and its surprising how quick a little rain can clear the streets
(chorus)
Bm A( ) D5
I dreamed of her in my bed of dreams
Bm G( )
but that was all that I ever tasted
Bm A( ) D5
she lied to me with her body you see
G F# E G F# E G F# E B A (D (hold) G A
and lalalalalalalalala..... means I love you
(flute solo over verse chords, whistle if you've got the chops :) )
(same)
She danced with me and I still hold that memory soft and sweet
and eyes stared out the window as I walked down her street
but I never made the first team, I just made the first team laugh
and she never came to the phone, she was always in the bath
Bm A( ) D5
In the end it took me a dic - tionary
Bm G( )
to find the meaning of unrequited
Bm A( ) D5
while she was giving herself for free
G F# E G F# E G F# E B A (<--- again single notes on low E and A)
at a party to which I was never invited
(same)
I never understood my feeling then and I
hide my humble hopes now
Thinking back, she made us want her
A girl not old enough to shave her legs
