Bm G D F#
  BmAt first Gglance
I thought I'd Dfind you in the palm of F#my hand
BmSo I asked my Gfriends
They told me Dkid, you do not stand a F#chance
BmWell I've been talking I've been Gwondering I've been thinking
if Dnot me, then F#who?
BmSo I start walking and Gbuilding up the courage to 
Dsay directly F#to you
I Bmthink I'm addicted to something that's different 
I've Gnever felt this way about anybody Dbefore
face down on the F#floor
and I'm Bmacting like it's not surprising
the thing that you Gdo that was so hypnotising
so hard to Dcontrol whenever I'm feeling it begging for F#more
Can we please stop Bmpretending
We're not Gboth feeling this
baby Dyou're killing it
and I don't F#know how much more I can tBmake
I'm used to living Greckless
accustomed to the Dexcess attention
gF#iven to me by the
Bmgirl in the black dress, GI'm granted access
Doh, whenever I F#ask it
but I'm Bmloving your eyes and I'm digging your smile
think Gmaybe we should go sit down for a while
and Dbring this whole game to a satisfied F#ending
if we both stop preBmtendingG  D  F#  
BmSo I start to feel the Gtime pass me by
every Dopportunity gone tF#o waste
Bmand there's a Ghundred other girls in Dthis placeF#  
Bmbut there's something aGbout you darlin'
DI can't look aF#way
BmI've been Ghooked since I saw Dyour faceF#  
and you're Bmmagical, something spectacular
baby, for Gyou need a whole new vernacular
I can't Ddescribe how I'm feeling inF#side
but I"m Bmnervous and that doesn't usually happen
and Gyou're so distracting
the way that you're snapping
I'm Dthinking, maybe you'd like to go for a F#ride
Can we please stop preBmtending
we're not Gboth feeling this
baby, Dyou're killing it
and I don't F#know how much more I can takeBm  
I'm used to living Greckless
accustom to the Dexcess attention
F#given to me by the
Bmgirl in the black dress
Galways granted access
Doh, whenever I F#ask it
but I'm Bmloving your eyes and I'm digging your smile
think Gmaybe we should go sit down for a while
and Dbring this whole game to a satisfied enF#ding
if we both stop preBmtendingG  
DohhF#, can we please stop preBmtendingG  D  F#  
BmAt first Gglance
I knew I'd Dfind you in the palm of F#my hands...
Can we please stop Bmpretending
we're not Gboth feeling this
baby, Dyou're killing it
and I don't F#know how much more I can Bmtake
I'm used to living Greckless
accustom to the Dexcess attention
F#given to me by the
Bmgirl in the black dress
GI'm granted access
DOh whenever I F#ask it
but I'm Bmloving your eyes and I"m digging your smile
think Gmaybe we should go sit down for a while
and Dbring this whole game to a satisfied enF#ding
if we both stop preBmtendingG  
DOhhF#, can we please stop preBmtendingG  
DohhF#

Bm G D F#

Bm G

At first glance

D F#

I thought I'd find you in the palm of my hand

Bm G

So I asked my friends

D F#

They told me kid, you do not stand a chance

Bm G

Well I've been talking I've been wondering I've been thinking

D F#

if not me, then who?

Bm G

So I start walking and building up the courage to

D F#

say directly to you

I think I'm addicted to something that's different

G D

I've never felt this way about anybody before

face down on the floor

and I'm acting like it's not surprising

the thing that you do that was so hypnotising

D F#

so hard to control whenever I'm feeling it begging for more

Can we please stop pretending

We're not both feeling this

baby you're killing it

F# Bm

and I don't know how much more I can take

I'm used to living reckless

accustomed to the excess attention

given to me by the

Bm G

girl in the black dress, I'm granted access

D F#

oh, whenever I ask it

but I'm loving your eyes and I'm digging your smile

think maybe we should go sit down for a while

D F#

and bring this whole game to a satisfied ending

Bm G D F#

if we both stop pretending

Bm G

So I start to feel the time pass me by

D F#

every opportunity gone to waste

Bm G D F#

and there's a hundred other girls in this place

Bm G

but there's something about you darlin'

D F#

I can't look away

Bm G D F#

I've been hooked since I saw your face

and you're magical, something spectacular

baby, for you need a whole new vernacular

D F#

I can't describe how I'm feeling inside

but I"m nervous and that doesn't usually happen

and you're so distracting

the way that you're snapping

D F#

I'm thinking, maybe you'd like to go for a ride

Can we please stop pretending

we're not both feeling this

baby, you're killing it

F# Bm

and I don't know how much more I can take

I'm used to living reckless

accustom to the excess attention

given to me by the

girl in the black dress

always granted access

D F#

oh, whenever I ask it

but I'm loving your eyes and I'm digging your smile

think maybe we should go sit down for a while

D F#

and bring this whole game to a satisfied ending

Bm G

if we both stop pretending

D F# Bm G D F#

ohh, can we please stop pretending

Bm G

At first glance

D F#

I knew I'd find you in the palm of my hands...

Can we please stop pretending

we're not both feeling this

baby, you're killing it

F# Bm

and I don't know how much more I can take

I'm used to living reckless

accustom to the excess attention

given to me by the

girl in the black dress

I'm granted access

D F#

Oh whenever I ask it

but I'm loving your eyes and I"m digging your smile

think maybe we should go sit down for a while

D F#

and bring this whole game to a satisfied ending

Bm G

if we both stop pretending

D F# Bm G

Ohh, can we please stop pretending

D F#

ohh
