CAPO 2

Intro:
C G Em
C G Em

Verse:
           C            G
It was a Monday afternoon,
           Em           D/F#          C     G       Em
I was waiting for you early and then she walked by.
           C            G             Em           D/F#
And whatever I was thinking, it went chasing after her.
     Am           C
But I don't know why.
           C            G             Em                D/F#
Why I couldn't say a word my tongue was laced up like my sneakers,
           C    G       Em
Don't you know I tried.
           C            G             Em           D/F#
Can't stop seeing her walking by and she didn't even see me, no.
Am           C
I don't know why.

Chorus:
          Em
'Cause I don't know anything about her,
 A7
Don't think I can live without her,
 C                     G
I don't even know her name.
          Em
And I don't know if she's associated,
 A7                             C                      G
I think that could be debated, right after I know her name.

Verse:
                  C                 G                Em                D/F#
My friend said, "Son, it's understood that this happens with some frequency.
              C      G        Em
You should think this through."
              C               G
Yeah, we heard she was well known,
              Em              D/F#           C      G      Em
And this would not be out of sequence for a boy like you.
              C              G
As for the state of my well-being,
       Em            D/F#
I appreciate your interest.
           C    G       Em
But, just hear my side.
                C             G
She's not like all the other girls,
            Em                D/F#
Yes I really think she's different, no.
 Am            C
Soon you can decide.

Chorus:
             Em
'Cause you don't know anything about her,
  A7
Don't think you can live without her,
  C                      G
You don't even know her name.
            Em
And you don't know if she's associated,
A7                                C                         G
You think that could be debated, right after you know her name.

Chorus:
           Em
'Cause I don't know everything about her,
 A7
Know that I can live without her,
 C                      G
I don't even know her name.
             Em
And I don't know if she's associated,
 A7                                  C                    G
She thinks that could be debated, right after I know her name.
