You Beat Me To The Punch Chords by Mary Wells

_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ That day I _ first saw [Bm] you, oh, oh, oh, passing by.
_ [D] Oh, _ _ didn't know your name, [Bm] but I was much [A] too shy. _
But [D] I was looking at you so hard _
[Bm] until you must have had a heart. _ _
[G] So you came up to me, [Gm] you asked me my name.
_ You beat me [D] to a pulse _ [G] that time.
You beat me [F#m] to a pulse. _
_ [Em] Oh, you beat me [F#m] to a pulse. _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ Oh, [A#] _ [D] after I _ hadn't [Bm] known you for what seems like a long, long time.
[D] I wanted _ _ _ to ask you, [Bm] would you please, please [A] be mine?
[D] Whenever you came around my _ house, [Bm] oh, you must have had _ a heart.
[G] So you came up to me and [Gm] asked me to be yours.
You beat me [F#m] to a pulse one [Em] more time.
You beat me to [F#m] a pulse. _
_ [Em] Oh, you beat me to [F#m] a pulse. _
[G] Yeah.

[Bm] So I let my heart [G] surrender _ [F#m] to you.
[Em] Yes, I did.
[G] But I found I'd be [A] unloved.
[D] One day, boy, you [G] were a playboy.
You would go away. _ _ _
And [A] _ _ _ so [G] I [F#m] ain't gonna [D] wait around for you to put me down.
[Bm] This time I'm gonna play my part. _ _
_ [G] I'll go away this [Gm] very day _ and beat you [F#m] to a pulse. _
[G] This time I'll beat you [F#m] to a pulse.
Yes, [Em] I will.
But let [D] you [Bm] know now. _
_ [Em] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
