_ [E] I'll never forget [B] the first day I met [E] [G#m] her, that September [E] morning was clear and fresh.
The way she spoke [G#] and laughed at my jokes and the way she rubbed herself against the
edge of my [Bm] desk.
She became a magic mystery to me and we'd sit together in double [E] history twice a week
[G#m] and some days we'd walk the same way [E] home and it's surprising how quick [B] a little rain
can clear [A] the streets.
[C#m] We dreamed of [B] her and compared [E] our dreams but [B] that was [A] all that I ever [C#m] tasted.
She lied to [B] me with her [Em] body you see, [F#m] I lied to myself about the chances I [E] wasted.
She said the [G#m] times we were close [Bm] were far and in between, [F#] in the [B] darkness of the dances
at the [F#] school canteen did she close [G#m] her eyes as I did.
We held [F#m] each [B] other [E] tight and la la la la la la _ _ means I love _ [A] you. _

[B] _ [E] _ She'd dance with me in high [G#m] school, hold that memory soft and sweet and I'd stare up the
window as I walked down her street [E] but I [B] never made the first team, I just made the
first team laugh and [Em] she [G#m] never came to the phone, she was [A] always in the bar.
[E] In the end it took me [B] a [E] dictionary [C#m] to find [F#m] out the meaning [A] of _ [E] _
unrequited while she was
_ [B] giving herself [E] for free [A] at [F#m] a party to which I was [F#m] never invited.
[E] [G#m] I never understood [B] my [F#m] failings [B] then [Em] and I [B] hide my own the woes [A] now.
[B] _ [E] _ Thinking back she made [B] this one up, _ [A] a [B] girl not [E] old enough to [B] shave [A] her legs. _
