[Verse 1]
C
I saw you in the hallway
Bm
I bet that's what they all say
C
You probably didn't even notice I was the loser
Bm
Who was staring at my shoes and
C
Couldn't think of nothing to say
I'm on the runway
Bm
Of a flight that's going one way
C
On "cross your finger" airlines
I'm picking up the pace
Bm
Getting nervous in the worst way, here goes nothing
[Pre-Chorus]

I saw her walking over

She's slowly moving closer
C G F
Wrote her a letter 'bout a week ago an', to my surprise

You can hold me once, You can hold me twice
G C
Even better if the stars are good tonight

You can hold me, be my one and only

This is the reply to the letter you wrote me
[Verse 2]
C
You told me to meet you after gym class
Bm
But I forgot to get a hall pass
And got sent to the office
C
You tried to call me
Bm
Asked everyone around who saw me
They didn't even notice
C
You're on your way now
Bm
Moving with your parents to some hick town
C
A# thousand miles away
I'm in the playground
Bm
And there's so much I could say now
I still remember when

C G
It's been awhile since we said "hi"
F
Three hundred and sixty five days have gone by now
And I could paint a picture of you

I see you every time I pass your locker

Remember the time we talked 'till six a.m

And I'm tired of missing you
F G C
Six A#M and I'm tired of missing you
