[Verso 1]
C C4
I fear I met a girl
C C4
She was complex but I was simple
C C4 C C4 C7
And she excessively burned into an undue fire in between us
C C4 C
She lit me up and turned me blue
C4
It was a cure then it wasn't true
C C4
And the light that waxed in her eyes
C C4 C7
Turned into nothing more than morning dew
[Refrão]
Am7
I just can't shame someone else
C7
Trust me that I've blamed myself
Am7
But she's tall and she's fast and young
C7
Sweep apologies off my tongue
[Verso 2]
C C4 C
It felt so wrong but she felt so right
C4
So many feelings to put it in a child
C C4
Feeling soiled and contagious
C C4 C7
Worried she'll give the other girls a fright
C C4 C
And when she ran the air turned sweet
C4
Every exerted force just claimed defeat
C C4 C C4 C7
Scared about the fact that every part of her made me feel complete
[Refrão]
Am7
I just can't shame someone else
C7
Trust me that I've blamed myself
Am7
But she's tall and she's fast and young
C7
Sweep apologies off my tongue
