Verse:
Am                                Cm      Am F
I only went in to get wellington boots
 Am                                    F                                     D   C
‘Cause a friend had insisted on going camping in the Lake District for his stag do
 Dm
Never really been the type of guy to kill time in a sports retailer
 C
I saw the World Cup final and I played a bit of netball as a teenager
 Dm
But all the ski-boots, bikes, dumbbells got me feeling a bit out of my depth
 F                                    N.C.
Then I saw you and you took away my breath
Am
Well this feeling’s new to me
                             G                          D
Never thought I’d be so enamoured with a store employee so outdoorsy
  F                       Am    F#m
But this is more than a crush, now
                 G                      N.C.
I think I’m in love with the girl who works on checkout six in Decathlon

Haven’t known her that long
  Gm                D
But all I hear is birdsong
 G                F                         Am
When I see that girl on checkout six in Decathlon

Yes, I’ve fallen headlong
                D
Chemistry? We had none
                 G                   C    Dm
But it’s early days, we only met for 40 seconds
                                      C
You complemented me on my unusually small feet
                                  Am              C
(“You know these are from the childrens section, right...?”)
  Dm                                                          F
When our fingers touched very briefly as you handed me the receipt
             G
You can’t deny the electricity
                                         G
(I know we’ve probably got nothing in common
      Am                                               G
You clearly like the great outdoors, and I’m allergic to pollen)
  Am                            Gm
She’s got a tan, I’ve got anaemia
                     F#                              C     F
She looks like she spends her winters skiing, I’ve never been, yeah
Am                                Gm
Bet she rides a bike to work, I work home in PJs

She’s got a Fitbit, I’ve just got this watch off eBay
Dm                                 C
So we don’t share the same aesthetic
                                          Dm
Maybe you’re looking for a boy who’s unathletic

You can teach me snowboarding
               C
I’ll play you all my recordings

Show me how to be sporty
               F
I’ll show you how to play the organ

We’ll both find it so rewarding
          G
Having pancakes every morning
                                               Am
And then you’ll go and start your shift in Decathlon

Got these feelings so strong
               D
All I hear is birdsong
                  F                        Am
When I see that girl on checkout six in Decathlon

So glad I didn’t stay home
                                  D
Could have got these boots from Amazon
 G                          C
But if I had done I’d have never even met you
  Dm7                                  C
Dreaming of the next time we can be together

(We can be together)
               Dm                                                        F
Gonna have to pop back in and browse the badminton accessories or golf sweaters
                     Dm
(Until I catch your eye)
    Dm7                                F
Gazing at you from the table-tennis section

(Table-tennis section)
     Dm                                                                  F     N.C.
(Actually I’ve just watched that series, 'YOU', on Netflix and on reflection, maybe this song’s a bit much?
Is it maybe a bit creepy?)

(Yeah)
