Doris And Edwin

    D
The first time that she saw him
           G
was in the office canteen
       Bb
He was buying a cup of coffee
A
three sugars and double cream
D
Two weeks later she saw him
          G
at the elevator banks
    A
His hands were full, she held the 
doors for
G               D
him and he said thanks


[Chorus]
             Bm
Now she's in love
                        F#
For her it doesn't take much
         Bm
She's in love
                     A
But this is not your ordinary office
 crush
    Bm               D
For she works in the basement
G
near the boiler room door
    D           A
And he works in accounting
       G    D
on the 37th floor


[Verse 2]
            D
Now I'm not much of a mathematician
         G
but even I can see
          Bb
That in a building of 37 floors
    A
and four thousand employees
    D
Her chances of running into him were
 really
G
not that good
                A
Even though she hung out at the 
canteen and rode the elevator
G                      D
every spare minute she could

[Chorus]
                Bm
'Cause she's in love
                            F#
And she don't even know his name
         Bm
She's in love
            A
Love can be such a cruel cruel game
    Bm               D
For she works in the basement
G
near the boiler room door
    D           A
And he works in accounting
       G    D
on the 37th floor
(And by the way, did I happen to 
mention...)


[Bridge]
               A
That when this building was 
constructed
       Bm
it was done improperly
    A
And one day on the fourth floor
            Bm
there was a short in the electricity
   A
It burned up walls and desks and 
chairs
    Bm
and all the secretaries
        A
And the alarm did not go off until 
it
Bm
reached floor 33
             A           
Floor thirty-three, floor 
        Bm
thirty-three

(And on the upper floors people were
 running and screaming and
jumping out of windows to get away 
from the flames -- it was
gross)

        A
Now the woman in the basement,
Bm
she ran up the stairs
A
Out the emergency exit
Bm
into the fresh air
A
She looked up because just then
Bm
it began to shower
       A
That's when she saw her true love 
coming...
    Bm
one hundred miles an hour
   A      Bm
Oh-oh, Oh no....


[Verse 3]
        D
I'm not much of a mathematician,
         G
but even I can see
    Bb
The chances of him landing on her
     A
were very slim indeed (but he did!)
        D
So they buried them together
    G
the following day
         A
And even now when I ride the 
elevator
G                  D
I can hear someone say


[Chorus]
           Bm
She was in love
                       F#
For her it didn't take much
           Bm
She was in love
                      A
But this was not your ordinary 
office... crush
    Bm               D
For she works in the basement
G
near the boiler room door
    D           A
And he works in accounting
       G    D
on the 37th floor


[Otro]
Bm                D
She worked in the basement
    G
and he the 37th floor
    D                   A
But fate brought them together,
     G            D
they flirted nevermore
