Girl From The Sidewalk

G     C     G     D7
G     C     G  D7 G


[Verse 1]
   G
Barefoot on the sidewalk
   C
Headphones in to let my mind walk
    G                          D7
In my hands I'm carrying in my shoes
    G
And I'm late to philosophy 203
  C
Won't McTaggart be so proud of me
       G                            D7                    G
And I don't have any notes just a couple pictures that I drew


[Verse 2]
    G
My hair looks like a bird's nest
      C
And according to my roommate I'm a little underdressed
         G                                           D7
With a cutoff t-shirt and a fanny-pack I got at the zoo
       G
Cause it's a little chilly for September 2nd
           C
It's like 45 degrees in the middle of the Midwest
         G                     D7                        G
And I'm really reconsidering removal of my socks and my shoes


[Verse 3]
           G
Cause the wind is biting at my toes
          C
And the chill is nipping at my nose
     G                                                   D7
My shoulders feeling heavy cause my backpack straps are loose
     G
But it all feels so good
      C
When every little thing's exactly how it should be
        G                               D7                        G
So it really made a difference when I narrowed down my vision to you


[Verse 4]
    G
And you had on a denim jacket
       C
And a crop top white t-shirt to match it
          G
And your yoga pants are popping
                                  D7
And your sneakers you rockin' 'em too
          G
And your hair was up in space buns
             C
And you were killing with the makeup
           G                               D7
And I was looking like a dumbass with my cutoff
                       G
And my hands full of shoes


[Verse 5]
     G
And that's about the time you looked up
      C
And saw me in the empty space I took up
      G                                                          D7
And now it's feeling dumb cause you really caught me staring at you
      G
And honestly I got a little nervous
          C
I didn't want you thinking I was doing it on purpose
          G
My eyes wander when I'm thinking
         D7                             G
I don't know I mean it's just what they do


[Prechorus]

    G                          C
Hey girl from the sidewalk I wrote this one for you
G                                        D7
So if you hear it, know it's my song if you remember like I do
  G                           C
Hey girl from the sidewalk I wrote this one for you
  G                                         D7
If you hear it, know it's my song if you remember like I do


[Chorus]
               G
I wish I said something strong like "what's up baby?"
    C
Or something funny like "call me maybe"
      G                                                   D7
Or something old fashioned like "Hello missus how do you do"?
      G
Or something really stupid
        C
Like I got a drive-by bow and arrow wound from cupid
        G
Or a simple little "Hi"
    D7                          G
My jaw just wasn't working for you


[Verse 6]
     G
And you were about to walk past me
     C
And you weren't really doing anything to attract me
     G                                                D7
So I didn't speak a word, I didn't even know what to say
 G
At this point like 30 seconds have past
  C
That's another 30 seconds tardy for class
            G                       D7                           G
But I'm not worried about anything except for figuring out your name


[Verse 7]
         G
Now our shoulders brush past each other on the sidewalk
      C
And I notice you're shorter than how i thought
          G                                                    D7
Which is good I guess cause I'm not really super tall at all anyway
G
So I look back to see if you look back
      C
And you look back and our eyes made contact
          G                         D7                   G
And you smiled holy shit, what a perfectly symmetrical face


[Verse 8]
     G
That moment felt like forever
   C
It was only us and we alone were together
     G                                                       D7
So believe me when I say I think the rest of campus melted away
     G
Then you turned around and left me
C
And now I'm feeling sorta empty
         G                              D7                         G
Cause I woulda, shoulda, coulda figured out a little something to say



[Prechorus]

    G                          C
Hey girl from the sidewalk I wrote this one for you
G                                        D7
So if you hear it, know it's my song if you remember like I do
  G                           C
Hey girl from the sidewalk I wrote this one for you
  G                                         D7
If you hear it, know it's my song if you remember like I do


[Chorus]
               G
I wish I said something strong like "what's up baby?"
    C
Or something funny like "call me maybe"
      G                                                   D7
Or something old fashioned like "Hello missus how do you do"?
      G
Or something really stupid
        C
Like I got a drive-by bow and arrow wound from cupid
        G
Or a simple little "Hi"
    D7                          G
My jaw just wasn't working for you


[Bridge]
      Em                         C
In my life I haven't had many regrets
             G                       D7
But days go back with you inside my head
      Em                          C
In my life I haven't had many regrets
         G                        D7
So many things I wish I could've said



[Chorus]
               G
I wish I said something strong like "what's up baby?"
    C
Or something funny like "call me maybe"
      G                                                   D7
Or something old fashioned like "Hello missus how do you do"?
      G
Or something really stupid
        C
Like I got a drive-by bow and arrow wound from cupid
        G
Or a simple little "Hi"
    D7                          G
My jaw just wasn't working for you
       G
Or a simple little Hi
    D7                          G
My jaw just wasn't working for you
       G
Or a simple little Hi
    D7                          G
My jaw just wasn't working for you
