B G#7 E B
Ooo-oo-ooh ooo-oo-ooh ooo-oo-ooh ooo-oo-ooh
G#7
The day that I first met you
E B
I didn't know that I would feel this way
G#7 E B
And all my insecurities kept me from loving you the same
G#7
I was only thirteen
E B
The first time that I ever felt this pain
G#7
I didn't know what to do
E B
I didn't think you'd look at me the same
G#7 E B
'Cause I-I I've never felt this way
G#7 E B
And I-I I couldn't think the same
And I-I I tried to run away
Oh-oh-oh
I-i I'll never be the same
Oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh
