[Verse 1]
F
I saw you in the hallway
Em
I bet that's what they all say
F
You probably didn't even notice I was the loser
Em
Who was staring at my shoes and
F
Couldn't think of nothing to say
I'm on the runway
Em
Of a flight that's going one way
F
On "cross your finger" airlines
I'm picking up the pace
Em
Getting nervous in the worst way, here goes nothing
[Pre-Chorus]
F C
I saw her walking over
C# C
She's slowly moving closer
F C A#
Wrote her a letter 'bout a week ago an', to my surprise
C
She replied and said:
[Chorus]
F C A#
You can hold me once, You can hold me twice
C F
Even better if the stars are good tonight
C
You can hold me, be my one and only
A# C# F Em F Em
This is the reply to the letter you wrote me
[Verse 2]
F
You told me to meet you after gym class
Em
But I forgot to get a hall pass
And got sent to the office
F
You tried to call me
Em
Asked everyone around who saw me
They didn't even notice
F
You're on your way now
Em
Moving with your parents to some hick town
F
D# thousand miles away
I'm in the playground
Em
And there's so much I could say now
I still remember when
[Pre-Chorus]

[Outro]
F C
It's been awhile since we said "hi"
A#
Three hundred and sixty five days have gone by now
And I could paint a picture of you
C
(I could paint a picture of you)
F C
I see you every time I pass your locker
A#
Remember the time we talked 'till six a.m
C# F
And I'm tired of missing you
A# C F
Six D#M and I'm tired of missing you
