_ _ [E] _ [A] Now in my younger days I used to sport [Em] a shag
[Am] But when [G] I went to school [Ab] I carried lunch in a [Am] bag
With an apple for my [Em] teacher, cause I do I get a kiss
I [E] always got mad when the class was [Am] dismissed
But when it was a session, I always had a question
I would [Ab] raise my hand and make her stagger to my [A] desk
And help me with my [E] problems, it was [A] never much
Just a trick to smell the [G] scent and try to sneak a [A] touch
And oh how [Em] I wish that I could hold her [F] hand and give her a hug
[Bm] But she was married to [Am] the man, he was a thug, his name was Lee
Drove [A] his E, picked her up at [E] school promptly at three o'clock
[Am] And I was on her jock, yes [Em] indeedy, I broke her [Am] feety on the bus
First [Bm] I write her name and carve a [Am] plus with my name
And last, on the looking glass, I seen her [Em] yesterday but still I had to let her [F] pass _
[B] _ [A] But [Am] she keeps [Em] on passing [F] me by
[Bb] She [Am] [Em] keeps on passing [F] me by
[Am] She [Em] keeps on [F] passing me by
[E] When _ [Am] _ I dream [Gm] of fairy [C] tales I think of me [F] and Shelly
She's my type of hype and I [E] can't stand when [Am] brothers tell me
I should [C] quit chasing and look for [F] something better
Cause the smile that she shows [G] makes me a go-getter
[Am] I haven't gone as far as asking if I could get with her
I just [E] played her by ear and hoped [Am] she'd get some pictures
I'm shooting for her heart, got my finger on the trigger
She [E] could be my [Bm] broad and I [A] could be her honky
All I could do is stay up back in the days [E] we used to kiss when we played [A] truth or dare
But now she's more sophisticated, highly [F] edumacated, not at [Bb] all overrated
[G] I think I [A] need a prayer just to get in her books
It looks [F] rather dry and it's [Em] twinkling her eyes just to twinkle [Am] in her eye
And although she's crazy [Gm] stepping, I try [C] to stop the [B] style
Cause I [C] won't have no [Em] more of this passing me [F] by _
_ [E] [Am] She [Em] keeps on [F] passing me by
_ [Am] She [Em] keeps on passing [F] me [B] by
[Am] She [Em] keeps on passing [F] me [G]
[F] by
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] Oh
My dear, my dear, my dear, you [Em] do not know me but I know you [B] very well
Now let me tell [E] you about these [D] feelings I have for you
And I'll try to make [G] some sort of [A] attempt I've sent
Damn, [E] I wish I wasn't such [A] a wimp
Cause then I would let you [Em] know that I loved you
So if I was your [G] man then I would [Am] be true
The only lying I would do [Ab] is in the bed [Am] with you
And I've signed sincerely the one who loves [Em] you dearly
[F] Yes, you love me [E] tender
The letter came back three days later
