Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

(strum each chord once)

Excuse me,

Do you have the time?

 ‘Cause I’ve been here waiting since a quarter after nine.

And it is not true love that I’m hoping I will find.

 No the truth is that I just don’t want to be alone tonight.

Verse 2

(Listen and strum chords accordingly)

 My how your eyes sparkle. Have you heard that one before?

 'Cause if you have don't you worry I know at least one million more.

 Like the one about your father stealing stars out of the sky,

 And if I could buy you just one more drink, I think I'd have the strength to tell these lies.

Pre-chorus

 And it must feel so fine to get what you want every time.

I would if I were more like James Dean.

Chorus

(listen for strumming)

 Then I could walk right up to you and say “Hello how do you do?”

Then you'd come back home with me,

 But I'm just not that cool you see, I’m just not that cool you see.

Verse 2

(same chords as verse 1)

So for now I'll just sit here and wait alone,

and hope that maybe you'll say hello, as the night just creeps along.

And I don't want to know about the clothes you wear.

I want to see you in the morning with the sunlight through your hair.

Pre-chorus

Chorus
