And if I couldn't attain

All I need to explain

Would she even look me in the eye again

She sits back and ignores

My need to adore

Intimidations got me down again

She's only 18 but such a beautiful dream (intro/verse prgression stops and then...)

Chorus

D5 A5 D5 A5 D5

Chloroform the one, the one that you love

A5 B5 ^ A#5 ^ A5 (slide)

And take her back

Verse 2 (same progression as verse 1)

-------

Every once in a while

I catch a strut and a smile

Maybe rejection is the high

That keeps me coming here

I need some compassion but she's

Laughing at the nervousness

I feel whenever she is around

And I can't see just how real

Is the charm no I don't mean

Her no harm despite my heart

And the challenge while she's lying here

Prechorus (same progression)

---------

Ah Ah Ah Ah....

Chorus (same progression)

------

Chloroform the one, the one that you love

And take her back

(repeat 1 more time)

So just walk on by

B5 A5 B5 A5

I can see today is like any other day

A5

But it seems brighter than it was before

D5

I just can't believe that its

B5 A5 B5 A5

Not the same no it's not the same

A5 D5 (hold and let ring out)

It will never be the same for me again
