[Verse 1]
The Dfirst time that she saw him
was in the Goffice canteen
He was Bbbuying a cup of coffee 
Athree sugars and double cream
DTwo weeks later she saw him
at the eleGvator banks
His Ahands were full, she held the doors for
Ghim and he said Dthanks
[Chorus]
Now she's in Bmlove
For her it doesn't take F#much
She's in Bmlove
But this is not your Aordinary office crush
For Bmshe works in the Dbasement
Gnear the boiler room door
And Dhe works in Aaccounting
on the G37th Dfloor
[Verse 2]
Now I'm not Dmuch of a mathematician
but even GI can see
That in a Bbbuilding of 37 floors
and Afour thousand employees
Her Dchances of running into him were really
Gnot that good                                                                        
Even though she Ahung out at the canteen and rode the elevator
Gevery spare minute she Dcould
[Chorus]
'Cause she's in Bmlove
And she don't even know his F#name 
She's in Bmlove
Love can be Asuch a cruel cruel game
For Bmshe works in the Dbasement
Gnear the boiler room door
And Dhe works in Aaccounting
on the G37th Dfloor                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
[Bridge]
That when this Abuilding was constructed
it was Bmdone improperly
And Aone day on the fourth floor
there was a Bmshort in the electricity
It Aburned up walls and desks and chairs
and Bmall the secretaries
And the Aalarm did not go off until it
Bmreached floor 33
Floor thirty-Athree, floor thirty-Bmthree
Now the Awoman in the basement,
Bmshe ran up the stairs
AOut the emergency exit
Bminto the fresh air
AShe looked up because just then
Bmit began to shower
That's Awhen she saw her true love coming...
one Bmhundred miles an hour
Oh-Aoh, Oh Bmno....
[Verse 3]
I'm not Dmuch of a mathematician,
but even GI can see
The Bbchances of him landing on her
were Avery slim indeed (but he did!)
So they Dburied them together
the Gfollowing day
And even Anow when I ride the elevator
GI can hear someone Dsay
[Chorus]
She was in Bmlove
For her it didn't take F#much
She was in Bmlove
But this was not your Aordinary office... crush
For Bmshe works in the Dbasement
Gnear the boiler room door
And Dhe works in Aaccounting
on the G37th Dfloor     
[Outro]
BmShe worked in the Dbasement
and Ghe the 37th floor
But Dfate brought them toAgether,
they Gflirted neverDmore

[Verse 1]

The first time that she saw him

was in the office canteen

He was buying a cup of coffee

three sugars and double cream

Two weeks later she saw him

at the elevator banks

His hands were full, she held the doors for

G D

him and he said thanks

[Chorus]

Now she's in love

For her it doesn't take much

She's in love

But this is not your ordinary office crush

Bm D

For she works in the basement

near the boiler room door

D A

And he works in accounting

G D

on the 37th floor

[Verse 2]

Now I'm not much of a mathematician

but even I can see

That in a building of 37 floors

and four thousand employees

Her chances of running into him were really

not that good

Even though she hung out at the canteen and rode the elevator

G D

every spare minute she could

[Chorus]

'Cause she's in love

And she don't even know his name

She's in love

Love can be such a cruel cruel game

Bm D

For she works in the basement

near the boiler room door

D A

And he works in accounting

G D

on the 37th floor

[Bridge]

That when this building was constructed

it was done improperly

And one day on the fourth floor

there was a short in the electricity

It burned up walls and desks and chairs

and all the secretaries

And the alarm did not go off until it

reached floor 33

A Bm

Floor thirty-three, floor thirty-three

Now the woman in the basement,

she ran up the stairs

Out the emergency exit

into the fresh air

She looked up because just then

it began to shower

That's when she saw her true love coming...

one hundred miles an hour

A Bm

Oh-oh, Oh no....

[Verse 3]

I'm not much of a mathematician,

but even I can see

The chances of him landing on her

were very slim indeed (but he did!)

So they buried them together

the following day

And even now when I ride the elevator

G D

I can hear someone say

[Chorus]

She was in love

For her it didn't take much

She was in love

But this was not your ordinary office... crush

Bm D

For she works in the basement

near the boiler room door

D A

And he works in accounting

G D

on the 37th floor

[Outro]

Bm D

She worked in the basement

and he the 37th floor

D A

But fate brought them together,

G D

they flirted nevermore
