[Verse 1]
I D5recall the first A5time 
that your pB5icture caught my A5eye, 
cracked a D5smile, 
causA5e I knew I had to have B5youA5.
It wasn't D5long, broke tA5he rules and it's so hard to B5keep it cA5ool.
Called you D5up, came right A5over, just to get B5youA5.
And Gevery single chance I took was Aworth it.
                               Bm  A*
Cuz every little inch of you is perfect.
[Chorus]
And when I Dsaw you in real lAife, 
I knew I Bmhad to make you Gmine
DHeaven must have sent you 
I'd Adie if I couldn't get you
Too Bmgood to be Atrue, and that's Gwhy it's just a A#matter of D5time, A5  
bB5efore I mA5ake you minD5e.A5  B5  A5  
[Verse 2]
The next D5night, we go A5out, not a B5single soul A5around.
Bite my lD5ip, cause shA5e almost makes me B5nervousA5.
In the D5park, on the A5grass, things are moving B5really A5fast.
She pulls me D5in, God I loA5ve the taste on her B5lipsA5.
And Gevery single chance I took was Aworth it. 
                               Bm  A*
Cuz every little inch of you is perfect.
[Chorus]
And when I Dsaw you in real lAife,

I know that it's late.
The sun's coming oD5ut.
She walks on the A5plane.
I'm sF#tuck on the gB5round.
                             E5                    G5  A5*
