And if I couldn't attain
All I need to explain
Would she even look me in the eye again
She sits back and ignores
My need to adore
Intimidations got me down again
She's only 18 but such a beautiful dream (intro/verse prgression stops and then...)

Every once in a while
I catch a strut and a smile
Maybe rejection is the high
That keeps me coming here
I need some compassion but she's
Laughing at the nervousness
I feel whenever she is around
And I can't see just how real
Is the charm no I don't mean
Her no harm despite my heart
And the challenge while she's lying here
Prechorus (same progression)
---------
Ah Ah Ah Ah....
Chorus (same progression)
------
Chloroform the one, the one that you love
And take her back
(repeat 1 more time)

So just walk on by

I can see today is like any other day

But it seems brighter than it was before

I just can't believe that its

Not the same no it's not the same
A5 D5 (hold and let ring out)
It will never be the same for me again
