Intro

| C Am | C Am |

Verse 1

So, she says it's time she goes
But wanted to be sure I know
| C Am | C Am |
She hopes we can be friends
[Verse 2] (+ bridge)
I think, yeah, I guess we can say I
But didn't think to ask her why
She blocked her eyes and drew the curtains
With knots I've got yet to untie ...

Chorus

What if I were Romeo in black jeans
What if I was Heathcliff, it's no myth
D/F# F Dm Bb | C Am | C Am |
Maybe she's just looking for someone to dance with

Verse 3

See, it was just too soon to tell
And looking for some parallel 
| C Am | C Am |
Can be an endless game
[Verse 4] (+ bridge)
We, we said goodbye before hello
My secrets she will never know
And if I dig a hole to China
I'll catch the first junk to Soho

Chorus

What if I were Romeo in black jeans
What if I was Heathcliff, it's no myth
Maybe she's just looking for someone to dance with   

Middle 8

Sometime from now you'll bow to pressure
Some things in life you cannot measure by degrees 
I'm between the poles and the equator
Don’t send no private investigator to find me please 
'less he speaks Chinese 
And can dance like Astaire overseas – OK ...

What if I were Romeo in black jeans
What if I was Heathcliff, it's no myth
Maybe she's just looking for someone to dance with
