DExcuse me,
ADo you have Bm7the time?G  
                     D                A
‘Cause I’ve beeGn here waiting since a quarter after nine.
                D             A              Bm7

CHORUS: (listen for strumming)
G                     D         G              D
Then I could walk right Gup to you and say “Hello how do you do?”
F#MThen you'd come Bm7back home with Bmme,A  
                     D                            G
But I'm just not that cool yAou see, I’m just not that cool you see.
VERSE 2: (same chords as verse 1)
So for now I'll just sit here and wait alone,
and hope that maybe you'll say hello, as the night just creeps along.
And I don't want to know about the clothes you wear.
I want to see you in the morning with the sunlight through your hair.
