BbTimmy's walking tall with his best laid plans
F/ATaking Penny Lane to the sixth grade dance
Dm7And he's bringing flowers
Eb
BbHe's looking pretty sharp in his dad's red tie
F/AGonna hold her hand if he's not too shy
Dm7He's bringing flowers
EbDon't every girl love flowers?
                                                                                    Eb  F*
Looking round for Penny for the slow song at the end
                                                                                    Eb  F*
And he found her looking pretty in the arms of his best friend
They were Ebdancing in
BbSlow (oh oh oh) slow (oh oh oGm7h) slow (oh oh oh) moF  Eb  
BbSlow (oh oh oh) slow (oh oh oGm7h) slow (oh oh oh) moF  Eb  
BbJimmy's losing sleep 'cause he thinks it's time
F/AEver since he met her at the five & dime
Dm7He's been seeing Jenny
Eb
BbHe's waiting for the moment when he makes his move
F/AHad to plan it out 'cause he's not real smooth
Dm7But he holds her steady
EbAin't every boy born ready?
                                                Eb  F*
Standing on the front porch, he's about to be the man
                                              Eb  F*
I swear he had it 'til mom pulled up in the minivan
Up the Ebdriveway in

BbSlow (oh oh oh) slow (oh oh oGm7h) slow (oh oh oh) moF  Eb  
EdimLike a car crash at the race
Gm7A pie right to the face
CmFalling down the stairs
F7b9Finding out she cares
                                                    Eb  F*
Don't it last forever when you never saw it coming at all?
                                                   Eb  F*
