Scod:    There's a girl,
         C                 A
         We see each other every 
day,
        D            Bm
         But I'm too shy,
             C            A   
         And I can't even bring 
            Bm
myself to say,

Gatesy:  \"Hello, how are you today?

         Lovely weather, by the way,
         If I was with you, I'd be 
         A
happy to pay!\"

Gatesy:  ... Oh for dinner, you 
know..oh shit!


        D         Bm
Scod:    She's so cute,
         C                  A
         She's got a little button 
head.
        D                Bm
         And I try to be cool,
             C             A      
         But I just cannot seem to
        Bm
 follow through.

Gatesy:  I just can't find a way to,
         Let her know that I'll be 
C
true,
                               A   
         So I know what I must

do...

Scod:    My dramatic concept,
                   C               
         Will be a post-apocalyptic
 A
 nightmare.

         Made of cardboard boxes,
             C                A
         And foil taped to my stack 
hat.

Tripod:  She'll be impressed!
Tripod:  And my costume will be the 
Em
best,
         When the curtain rises, 
        C
I'll be dressed,
         In fluoro bike shorts and a

only choose it,
        F#             Bm    
         If it's got a serious

         My backup plan,
               C                  
         Is to leave these rookie 
A          Bm
amateurs behind.
         And I'll really blow her 
Em
mind,
Tripod:  And I'll build my Jazz 
       C
Ballet rep,
         I'll go the logical next 
A
step...

         Then I finally won't be by 
myself.
