[Intro]
A#maj7 F#m9
[Verse 1]
A#maj7 F#m9
I saw you standing there
A#maj7 F#m9
With your hand in his hair
A#maj7
And his hand in
F#m9 A#maj7
Your back pocket
F#m9 A#maj7
I couldn't help but stare
[Chorus]
I wanted to tell you
F#m9 A#maj7
That I was back in school
F#m9
But in the dark of the club
A#maj7 F#m9
I knew it wouldn't carry much weight
A#maj7 F#m9
Well, I'm trying to learn your language
A#maj7 F#m9
I'm trying to learn your language
[Verse 2]
A#maj7 F#m9
I came to your party empty-handed
A#maj7 F#m9
I came to your party, uninvited
A#maj7 F#m9 A#maj7 F#m9
I came to your party, a headstart on the drinking, nervous
[Chorus]
A#maj7
I wanted to tell you
F#m9
That I was back in school
A#maj7 F#m9
But in the chit-chat, chit-chat should that...
A#maj7
Well, I'm trying to learn your language
F#m9
It's like a fly learning how to bark
A#maj7
I'm trying to learn your language
F#m9 A#maj7 F#m9
It's like a fly learning how to bark
[Verse 3]
A#maj7
That smile on your face
F#m9
That smile on your face
A#maj7
That smile on your face
F#m9
I try to erase
A#maj7 F#m9
That smile on your face
[Outro]
A#maj7
But a kiss was not the answer
F#m9
A kiss was not the answer
A#maj7 F#m9 A#maj7
A drunken kiss was not the answer
