Verse 1:
       G+G    C majorC       G+G   G+G
They'd never met, the singer and the swinger
   E minorEm      D MajorD

Fighting for the mirror and smiling

She was awkward
    D MajorD
I was tongue tied
    C majorC
She was goofy

Pre-Chorus:
      G+G     C majorC      G+G    G+G
And she aspired to perfection as a hipster
    E minorEm
And she asked me,
   D MajorD        G+G
("How should I wear my problem hair
  C majorC        G+G
My dirty, no good problem hair?")

She asked me

I blew it

I knew it

I always wonder how things could've been
            BB
(I wouldn't waste time dreaming about me)
C majorC      D MajorD
Spend every second day just
G+G           BB
Dreaming how the ?rst one ought to be

My dream was realised but I   was sleeping
   C minorCm
I was sleeping

I caught the girl, her eyelids started to ?utter
     E minorEm
And in my arms

Just lie still, you'll feel better

Spend every second day just
G+G           BB
