Verse 1:
DPeople always told me that it Ahurts to be in love 
There's Dnothing we can do but Apray to God above 
I've Gheard a lot of stories that Aall end sad 
But Anothing that I've heard sounds Dquite this bad 
It's Ghard enAough when love is Dunrequited 
But Gwhat do you Ado when her Dboyfriend's dead 
Chorus 1:
She Gwas the Afirst girl who Dever made me fall 
I just Gtook too long to Aask her 
To the Dfreaking Yule BmBall 
GHair like silk and Aeyes aglow 
And she Dlooked so pretty in her Bmschoolgirl robes 
And Gskin like porceAlain 
But she's a dead boy's Dgirlfriend 
Oh, Ashe's a dead boy's Dgirlfriend 
Verse 2:
I Dgulped down my Gillyweed and Ajumped into the lake 
Not Dknowing who the masters of the Atournament would take 
I Gdodged the merpeople and the AGrindylow 
And saw Athree pretty girls there, Dfloating in a row 
But it was Gfreaking Ron AWeasley who was Dwaiting for me 
GShe was the Aprize for Cedric DDiggory 
Chorus 2:
She Gwas the Afirst girl who Dever made me fall 
I just Gtook too long to Aask her 
To the Dfreaking Yule BmBall 
GHair like silk and Aeyes aglow 
And she Dlooked so pretty in her Bmschoolgirl robes 
And Gskin like porceAlain 
But she's a dead boy's Dgirlfriend 
Oh, Ashe's a dead boy's Dgirlfriend 
Bridge:
On Gthat fateful Anight, BmCedric and I 
We Gfinished that Amaze at the Bmvery same time 
We Ggrabbed that cup toAgether to Bmshare the glory 
GI thought maybe Ahe could share Bmsomething else with Ame 
But a Gminute later, Ahe was dead 
And you could Gnever wanna be with Ame instead 
You could Gnever wanna be with Ame instead 
GNever wanna be with Ame instead 
Chorus 3:
You Gwere the Afirst girl who Dever made me fall 
I just Gtook too long to Aask you 
To the Dfreaking Yule BmBall 
GHair like silk and Aeyes aglow 
And you Dlooked so pretty in your Bmschoolgirl robes 
And Gskin like porceAlain 
But she's a dead boy's Dgirlfriend 
Oh, Ashe's a dead boy's Dgirlfriend 
Verse 3:
DNow it seems that all I Amake you do is cry 
DI can never snog you and Ait's no secret why 
GHe's still there between us even Athough he's gone 
ACheating on a dead guy Dis so very wrong 
You'll Gprobably Ahave a Dvery nice life 
But you'll Gprobably have to Abe a Dboring muggle's wife 
Final Chorus:
You Gwere the Afirst girl who Dever made me fall 
I just Gtook too long to Aask you 
To the Dfreaking Yule BmBall 
GHair like silk and Aeyes aglow 
And you Dlooked so pretty in your Bmschoolgirl robes 
And Gskin like porceAlain 
But she's a dead boy's Dgirlfriend 
Oh, Ashe's a dead boy's Dgirlfriend 
Yeah, Ashe's a dead boy's Dgirlfriend
