[Intro]
C Am C D
[Verse 1]
C
They say to get out with the old you get in with the new
Am
And I haven't been on a date since I was twenty-two
C
My friend has a friend and they say they're my type
N.C. D
And then they're texting me once, and then they're texting me twice
C
Sayin', "Are you free Saturday? I know a spot"
Am
So I typed out a couple million ways to respond
C
But I landed with "Yes"
D
Shit, so where the hell is my dress?
[Pre-Chorus]
C G
Doing last looks in the mirror
D
Tell myself "I got this, I got this"
C G
But I'm back at the beginning again and now
D
So if I'm honest
[Chorus]
C
I'm scared of looking stupid
G Am
Said I, I'm ready now, I gotta prove it
G C
Got a little black dress, I wanna use it
G Am
And maybe lose it on the floor that ain't mine
G C
I think it's probably time to keep it movin'
G Am
I talk a big game, that I'm scared of losin'
G C G
Everything I knew about love is ruined, it's so confusing
Am G
So, how do, how do I do this?
[Verse 2]
C G
I wonder if they'll ask if I'm still feelin' blue
D
And will they bring up the elephant in the room?
C G
Yeah, what if they lean in at the end of the night?
Am
What if it's feeling right, what if it's too good to be true?
[Chorus]
C
I'm scared of looking stupid
G Am
Said I, I'm ready now, I gotta prove it
G C
Got a little black dress, I wanna use it
G Am
And maybe lose it on the floor that ain't mine
G C
I think it's probably time to keep it movin'
G Am
I talk a big game, that I'm scared of losin'
G C G
Everything I knew about love is ruined, it's so confusing
Am G
So, how do, how do I do this?
[Bridge]
C G
Said they'd pick me up at seven, it's 6:52
C G Am
And I know who I am, but what the fuck do I do?
[Chorus]
C
I'm scared of looking stupid
G Am
Said I, I'm ready now, I gotta prove it
G C
Got a little black dress, I wanna use it
G Am
And maybe lose it on the floor that ain't mine
G C
I think it's probably time to keep it movin'

I talk a big game, that I'm scared of losin'

Everything I knew about love is ruined, it's so confusing
Am G
So, how do, how do I do this?

C
I'm calling Kelly for a talk
Am
Like is it wrong to take a shot?
C G
I'm freaking out, like oh my God
N.C.
'Cause now it's seven on the dot
