Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

Intro:

        A
Passing papers is a decent way to flirt, right?
           E
If I'm not forward, I can't possibly get hurt, right?
        C#7                         F#m                    Bm      E
I never trusted the idea of love at first sight, so settle down

Verse:

      A
Is it weird I wanna be with you at midnight?
              E
I think you'd look especially lovely in the moonlight
          C#7
What am I saying?
                    F#m
I can't even get my words right
            Bm      E
When you're around

Chorus:

Cause
C#            C#7      A
Smiles are my weakness and
  A7
I think yours is the prettiest
        C#7                               F#m  A  A7
And you show it quite a bit when I'm with you

     C#7
It's almost entertaining how
      F#m
We're searching for the same thing
    Bm                          E
But I would never try to see it through

Verse:

      A
Yes I meant it when I said that you were pretty
         E
We never knew each other well and it's a pity
          C#7                        F#m
Sometimes I wonder if when you hear 1950
          Bm      E
I come to mind

A
I had the chance to tell the truth and still, I hid it
        E
And I'm too much of a coward to admit it
        C#7                         F#m
But I'd totally be down if you were interested
           Bm              E
In hanging out sometime

Chorus:

Cause
C#            C#7      A
Smiles are my weakness and
  A7
I think yours is the prettiest
        C#7                               F#m  A  A7
And you show it quite a bit when I'm with you

     C#7
It's almost entertaining how
      F#m
We're searching for the same thing
    Bm            B             E
But I would never try to see it through

Bridge:

D
It's 5am
          E
I'm in my room
                          A
I don't intend on telling you

That I haven't slept
                  A7             D
Cause I've been writing this all night

                                E  E7
You're picture staring from the shelf
            E             F#m
You have me questioning myself

What's gotten into me?
A
I thought I was alright

But

Chorus:
C#            C#7      A
Smiles are my weakness and
  A7
I think yours is the prettiest
  C#7                        Bm        A  A7
I wish I wouldn't be so shy around you

    C#7
And I never expected myself
A         Dm
To be so affected
      Bm
After so much time of doing fine
    E
Without you

Outro:
        A
Passing papers is a decent way to flirt, right?
           E
If I'm not forward, I can't possibly get hurt, right?
        C#7                         F#m                    Bm   B  E
I never trusted the idea of love at first sight, so settle down
