[Intro]
G Bm C Em Bm C Cm
[Verse 1]
AGwkward and Bmdying to Gbe with Cher
BuEmt I can't say words when I'm pBmassing by that Cfigure
GThe ninth wonder tBmhis one world has to Coffer
I'Emm gonna call a paper to tell 'eBmm what I have diCscovered
[Pre-Chorus 1]
AmWell, it's hard to aAmlleviate this Empressure
How can I Gconfess that AmI want yoCu?
JuAmst a puzzle that I can't put Emtogether
ThGe pieces are all scattered Amaround the rCoom (around the room, around the room)
[Chorus 1]
OGh girl, I wiBmsh I wasn't Cso scared
I'd have you in my arEmms and I'd leBmt you run your fCingers through my hair
GBut for now I'll just dBmaydream in the Cfriend zone
EmThe thought of telling you how I Bmfeel turns me Ccolder than a stone
[Verse]
GI'm an expert at Bmliving in dCiscomfort
CThe other day I had some muEmstard take a Bmstroll upon my Ct-shirt
BGetter get a stretcher, her eyes Bmwatched me fix my Czipper
GeCtting colder thaEmn a freezer and fBmeeling weaker in my Cfemurs
[Pre-Chorus 2]
CAmalled my doctor
Said, "What's up with this Empressure?"
He said I must cGmonfess that AmI want Cyou
BuAmt doc this puzzle, it's stuck under Emmy dresser
There ain't no way I'lGl gather Amany kind of Cclue (I got no clue, I got no clue)
[Chorus 1]
OGh girl, I Bmwish I wasn't Cso scared
I'd have you in my arEmms and I'd lBmet you run your fCingers through my hair
GBut for now I'll just dBmaydream in the fCriend zone
TEmhe thought of telling you how I Bmfeel turns me Ccolder than a (colder than a)
[Bridge]
AmI am falling to Empieces
You just leave me sGpeechless
This Amdream won't eCver come true
AAmnd darling, the weight it just Emincreases
When I see your sGweetness
RuAmined by some other Cdude
[Chorus 2]
OGh girl, I'm tBired of being so sCmaj7cared
CI want you in my Emarms and I Bmneed those pretty fCingers in my hair
GI'll build a ladder to Bmclimb out of the Cfriend zone
The thought of being Emwithout you has got Bmme turning Ccolder than a stone
OGh girl, I'm tiBred of being so Cscared (I'm so, so scared)
I want you in my Emarms and I Bmneed your Cpretty fingers in my hair
IG'll build a ladder to Bmclimb out of the friend zone (climbin' up out)
The thought of being Emwithout you has got Bmme turninCg colder than a, Emcolder, Amcolder
[Outro]
I'm so Emaw-Bmaw-Ckward (and maybe a little bit crazy)
I'm so Emaw-Bmaw-Ckward (how can you be so amazing?)
I'm so Emaw-Bmaw-Ckward (just want you to be my lady)
I'm so Emaw-Bmaw-CkwAmard  
EmBum-CBum
