I haven't been quite the ^Gsame. ^D2So sure the s^Ctory of my ^Emlife will never change. ^D But in a bright ^Geyed way. ^D2Rinsed out the ^Csoap in my eyes and wrote a ^Emsong that I'm about to sing. ^D Cause it's a^Gbout a girl ^D2 ^Cthat I ^Emhardley even know.^D So this is ^Gnot another love song. ^D2 ^C Just a l^Emist of thing that I should know ^Dand everyone should know.

Chorus

^G5(One) You got to take it kind of slowly ^C5(Two) You got to hurry up and make your move. ^G5(Three) You got to tell her that she's pretty.^D5 ^C5 ^G5(Four) You got to be the perfect gentleman ^C5You shake the wall you got to make it bend. ^G5You got to show her that ^D5she's the balance beam

and I keep falling all around her fairy tale. (Repeat) We took a walk in the rain I suggested, she confessed there's a park nearby to cast that shame. Stay cool but I'm getting like a school boy. You got to handle with care this is not a toy. And gradually we touched. Although our close were wet we sat and smiled I never thought I'd smiled so much The first kiss always says the most.
