Capo at the 2nd fret here.  Here are the chrds

D     x5777xx (so this is actually an E)
D/C#  x4777xx
A     577655
G     355433
Bm    xx4432
A(*)  x0222x
D5    xx023x
G(*)  320003

D          D/C#       A         G A   D
I'll never forget the first day I met her

     D/C#                  A         G   A
That September morning was clear and fresh

D           D/C#       A            G  A
The way she spoke and laughed at my jokes

        D                  D/C#              A              G A
and the way she rubbed her dress against the edge of my desk


(same as first verse)
She became a magic mystery to me and we'd
sit together in double history twice a week
and some days we'd walk the same way home
and its surprising how quick a little rain can clear the streets

(chorus)
Bm                     A(*)   D5
I dreamed of her in my bed of dreams

Bm                      G(*)
but that was all that I ever tasted

Bm                      A(*) D5
she lied to me with her body you see

      G    F#  E  G  F#   E   G  F#   E  B  A  (D (hold)                                     G  A
and lalalalalalalalala..... means I love you


(flute solo over verse chords, whistle if you've got the chops :) )


(same)
She danced with me and I still hold that memory soft and sweet
and eyes stared out the window as I walked down her street
but I never made the first team, I just made the first team laugh
and she never came to the phone, she was always in the bath


Bm                      A(*)  D5
In the end it took me a dic - tionary

Bm                     G(*)
to find the meaning of unrequited

Bm                   A(*)    D5
while she was giving herself for free

     G  F# E  G     F# E  G  F# E B  A (<--- again single notes on low E and A)
at a party to which I was never invited


(same)
I never understood my feeling then and I
hide my humble hopes now
Thinking back, she made us want her
A girl not old enough to shave her legs
