(C)Crashed on the floor when I moved in.

No, I (G6)can’t re sist the day.
And (C)Jen ny screams out and it’s no pose, ’cause when she danc es she goes and goes.
And (C)beer through the nose on an in side joke.
And I’m so ex cit ed, I have n’t spo ken.
And (Am9)she’s so pret ty and she’s so sure.
May be I’m more clev er than a girl like her.

(C)May be I’m a lit tle bit o ver my head.
I come un done at the things he said.
And (C)he’s so fun ny in his bright red shirt.
We were all in love and we all got hurt.
I (Am9)sneak in to his car’s black leath er seat.
The smell of gas o line in the sum mer heat.
Boy, we’re (Gsus)go in’ way too fast.
It’s (Gsus)all too sweet to last.
It’s al right
