Intro: Am EmRiff Break AmVerse 1:
Am Em She was sixteen and six feet tall Dm C Am In a crowd of teenagers coming out of the zoo Em She stumbled started to slip and fall Dm C Am Teeter-tottered on the top of patent leather shoes Em I happened to catch her and said Dm C Am Em Am "Maybe these ruby shoes are a little cumbersome for you" Em Am Em Maybe for you, nowVerse 2:
Em But not as shaky as I must have seemed Dm C Am Talking junk through her giggle, little teenage dream Em And on the phone I could not compete Dm C Am My dumb-luck fake competence was getting weak Em For a sec' I thought I sounded sweet Dm C But sure enough in a gruff, faint voice Am Am Em I heard myself speakBreak Am Em (x8) AmD A I could stay a while C G But sooner or later I'll break your smile D A And I can tell a joke C G But one of these days I'm bound to choke D A And we could share a kiss C G But I feel like I can't go through with this D A And I bet we could build a home C G But I know the right thing for me to do Am Em Am Em Is to leave you alone Am Em Leave you alone, nowVerse 3:
Am Em I'm beginning to like you D C So you probably won't get what I'm going to do Am Em I'm walking away from you D C It probably don't make much sense to you Am Em But I'm trying to save you D C Am Em Am From all of the things that I'll probably say or do Em Am Em Am I'll probably doBreak Am Em (x3)D A I could stay a while C G But sooner or later I'll break your smile D A And I can tell a joke C G But one of these days I'm bound to choke D A And we could share a kiss C G But I feel like I can't go through with this D A And I bet we could build a home C G But I know the right thing for me to do Am Em Am Em Is to leave you alone Am Em Leave you alone, nowOutro Am Em Am I'm a martyr for my love for you Em Am Em Am A martyr for my love for you, now Em Am Em Am A martyr for my love for you Em Am A martyr for my love for youVerse 4:
verse 4 Am Em You'll probably call me a fool D C And say I'm doing exactly what a coward would do Am And I'm beginning to like you D C It's a shame what a lame way to live G Am But what can I do? Em D I hope you appreciate what I do
