A E D A E A
 
[Verse 1]
  A
I feel so helpless now,
my guitar is not around
        E
And I'm strugglin with the xylophone
To make these feelin's sound
        D
And I'm rememberin' you singin'
and bringin' you to life
     A
It's rainin' out the window
    E
and today it looks like night
 
[Verse 2]
 
            A
You haven't written to me in a week,
I'm wonderin' why that is
            E
Are you too nervous to be lovers
Friendship's ruined with just one kiss?
  D
I watched you very closely,
I saw you look away
              A
Your eyes are either gray or blue,
          E
I'm never close enough to say
 
[Verse 3]
         A
But your sweatshirt says it all,
with the hood over your face
             E
I can't keep starin' at your mouth
Without wonderin' how it tastes
    D
I'm with another boy
(he's asleep, I'm wide awake )
       A
And he tried to win my heart
         E
but it's takin; Time…
 
[Verse 4]
               A
And I know the shape of your hands
because I watch 'em when you talk
               E
And I know the shape of your body
'Cause I watch it when you walk
      D
And I want to know it all
but I'm giving you the lead
      A
So go on, go on and take it
       E
Don't fake it (shake it)
 
[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
A
(Crazy eyes have you)
(Are they gray or blue?)
E
(I won't make the move)
(You must make the move)
D
(If you make the move)
(I will then approve)
A
(If you do not move)
E
(We will surely lose)
 
[Verse 4]
      A
Don't second-guess your feelin's
You were right from the start
      E
And I notice she's your lover
But she's nowhere near your heart
     D
This city is for strangers
Like the sky is for the stars
  A
I think it's very dangerous
      E
If we do not take whats ours
 
[Verse 5]
        A
And I'm winnin' you with words
Because I have no other way
            E
I'd love to look into your face
Without your eyes turnin' away
     D
Last night I watched you sing
Because a person has to try
      A
And I walked home in the rain
          E
Because a person can not lie
