[Intro]
C  Am  G  D
[Verse 1]
She Ctold me that she loved me by the water fountain
She Amtold me that she loved me and she didn't love him
And Gthat was really lovely cause it was innocent
But Dnow she's got a cup with something else in it
It's Cgetting kind of blurry at a quarter past ten
And Amhe was in a hurry to be touching her skin
She's Gfeeling kind of dirty when she's dancing with him
ForDgetting what she told me by the water fountain
[Pre-chorus]
Now he's Cgrabbing her hips and pulling her in
AmKissing her lips and whispering in her
EmEar and she knows that she shouldn't listen
And Dthat she should be with me by the water fountain
[Chorus]
She Ccouldn't be at home in the nighttime because
It Ammade her feel alone but at that time she was
Too Gyoung
I was too Dyoung
I Cshould have built a home with a fountain for us
The Ammoment that she told me that she was in love
Too Gyoung
I was too Dyoung
Too Cyoung
Too Amyoung
Too Gyoung
DYoung
[Verse 2]
And Cif she ever goes back to the water fountain
The Amhandle will be broken and the rust set in
But my Ghand it will be open and I'll try to fix it
My Dheart it will be open and I'll try to give it
[Pre-chorus]
Now I'm gCrabbing her hips and pulling her in
AmKissing her lips and whispering in her
EmEar and I know that it's only a wish
And Dthat we're not standing by the water fountain
Too Cyoung
Too Amyoung
Too Gyoung
DYoung
[Chorus]
She Ccouldn't be at home in the nighttime because
It Ammade her feel alone but at that time she was
Too Gyoung
I was too Dyoung
I Cshould have built a home with a fountain for us
The Ammoment that she told me that she was in love
Too Gyoung
I was too Dyoung
Too Cyoung
Too Amyoung
Too Gyoung
DYoung
I Cshould have built a home with a fountain for us
The Ammoment that she told me that she was in love
Too Gyoung
I was too Dyoung

[Intro]

C Am G D

[Verse 1]

She told me that she loved me by the water fountain

She told me that she loved me and she didn't love him

And that was really lovely cause it was innocent

But now she's got a cup with something else in it

It's getting kind of blurry at a quarter past ten

And he was in a hurry to be touching her skin

She's feeling kind of dirty when she's dancing with him

Forgetting what she told me by the water fountain

[Pre-chorus]

Now he's grabbing her hips and pulling her in

Kissing her lips and whispering in her

Ear and she knows that she shouldn't listen

And that she should be with me by the water fountain

[Chorus]

She couldn't be at home in the nighttime because

It made her feel alone but at that time she was

Too young

I was too young

I should have built a home with a fountain for us

The moment that she told me that she was in love

Too young

I was too young

Too young

Young

[Verse 2]

And if she ever goes back to the water fountain

The handle will be broken and the rust set in

But my hand it will be open and I'll try to fix it

My heart it will be open and I'll try to give it

[Pre-chorus]

Now I'm grabbing her hips and pulling her in

Kissing her lips and whispering in her

Ear and I know that it's only a wish

And that we're not standing by the water fountain

Too young

Young

[Chorus]

She couldn't be at home in the nighttime because

It made her feel alone but at that time she was

Too young

I was too young

I should have built a home with a fountain for us

The moment that she told me that she was in love

Too young

I was too young

Too young

Young

I should have built a home with a fountain for us

The moment that she told me that she was in love

Too young

I was too young
