Capo 3rd fret
Verse
C G
You, you walked into the room
Am
On a Friday afternoon
F
That's when I saw you for the first time
And I was paralyzed
C G
I had a million things to say
Am
But none of them came out that day
F
'Cause I was never one of those guys
That always had the best lines
Pre-Chorus
Am
Time stops ticking
G
My hands keep shaking
F G
And you don't even know that
[Refrão]C
I try to speak but girl you got me tongue-tied
G
I try to breathe but I'm f-f-f-frozen inside
Am
I try to move but I'm stuck in my shoes
F G
You got me paralyzed, paralyzed, p-p-p-paralyzed
C
I see you walking, but all you do is pass me by
G
Can't even talk, cause words don't come into my mind
Am
I'd make a move if I had the guts to
F G
But I'm paralyzed, paralyzed, p-p-p-paralyzed
Verse
C G
Now I learned a lot from my mistake
Am
Never let a good thing slip away
F
I've had a lot of time to look back
And my only regret is
Pre-Chorus
Am G
Not telling you what I was going through
F G
You didn't even know that
[Refrão]C
I try to speak but girl you got me tongue-tied
G
I try to breathe but I'm f-f-f-frozen inside
Am
I try to move but I'm stuck in my shoes
F G
You got me paralyzed, paralyzed, p-p-p-paralyzed
C
I see you walking, but all you do is pass me by
G
Can't even talk, cause words don't come into my mind
Am
I'd make a move if I had the guts to
F G
But I'm paralyzed, paralyzed, p-p-p-paralyzed
Bridge
F C
As the years go by I think about you all the time

If I get the chance I hope I won't be paralyzed

Paralyzed by you

You walked into the room
Am
On a Friday afternoon
