 C#m7(w/ H.o)  F#(w/ H.o)
Verse 1:
 C#m7(w/ H.o)
Did somebody tell you what I couldn’t tell you
			      F#(w/ H.o)
I hope they did I hope they didn’t
 C#m7(w/ H.o)
Well I oughta regret it or should I forget it
                           F#(w/ H.o)
Whatever this is it feels electric
 C#m7(w/ H.o)
You shot me a sweet look gave me your yearbook
                              F#(w/ H.o)
Told me to sign it, it was a signal
 C#m7(w/ H.o)
But I couldn’t find the words 
                                  F#(w/ H.o)
I just couldn’t find the nerve as usual

Verse 2:
And now you’re in Hollywood right in my neighbourhood
Things are really looking up for you
An army of managers and lots of pretty boys lining up
To read for you
Oh, I’m pretty sure that it was you that I bumped into just the other day
At the record store
But I still don’t have a clue I just couldn’t talk to you
As usual
Chorus
Bridge:
G#mSo I come C#to your event in my well rehearsed mystique
AI show up G#an hour late but I’ve been ready for a week
G#mAnd you floaC#t into the hallway like some neon silhouette
AI’m slowly losinG#g oxygen and my hands are soaking wet
G#mall the caC#meras and reporters piling up on one another
Ajust to G#get a look at you they all want an interview
G#mThen I make my mC#ove push them out of my way
Abut I still G#just don’t know what to sa---------y
