Verse 1:
D                                               G
I was only 12 years old, when I found out 'bout love
         A         D         G        A         D
Love was blond and seventeen and in my brother's class

Verse 2:
D                                                          G
Restless days and sleepless nights, but tryin' to catch his eye
D       A     D            G                 A    D
Wheelie on my little bike, but on my letters no reply

Bridge 1:
         Bm               G       D             A
And then summer took him away, to another town, gone to stay
       Bm                 G           D     Em   G      A
And it felt like love was pain, but I found out, just today

Chorus:
A             Bm          G                     D
You better be ready, when love comes around for you (get ready, get ready)
              Bm             G                    D
You better be ready, cause a chance may come real soon (get ready, get ready)
              Bm          G                     A
You better be ready, when love comes around for you
     F#7              Bm       G  A
It's bound to come on through

Verse 3:
D                                                       G
Time went slow but I grew up fast and summer can last a year
        A           D       G                  A   D
Waiting for my time to come and for my love to reappear

Bridge 2:
        Bm               G        D            A
And let destiny take us away, to another town, gone to stay
        Bm                   G              D   Em     G          A
And two hearts will feel the same, so watch out now, today is the day

Chorus:
A             Bm          G                     D
You better be ready, when love comes around for you (get ready, get ready)
              Bm             G                    D
You better be ready, cause a chance may come real soon (get ready, get ready)
              Bm          G                     A
You better be ready, when love comes around for you
     F#7              Bm                G        A         D
It's bound to come on through, there is love somewhere for you

Huhu, hey (love)
