Hey, there's AChristine

The summer season was cheap.

I didn't stand a chance.
I didn't stand at A/Aball.
           C#m7/Ab  
You looked ok with the others.
You looked Bm7/F#great by yourself.
       Dmaj7/     F#                  A/Ab  C#m7/         Ab  Bm7/F#  
It was 2002 and you needed reminding to stay alive.
