DI'll never D/C#forget the Afirst day GI Amet Dher
That D/C#September morning was Aclear and GfresAh
DThe way she D/C#spoke and lAaughed at my GjokAes
and the Dway she rubbed her D/C#dress against the Aedge of my deskG  A  
(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

and I lied to myself bout the chances I wasted      low E and A strings)
The times we were close were few and far between
in the darkness of the dances of the school cantene

 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
(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
