1.   Please take me by the hand,     it's so cold out tonight,

    I'll put blankets on the bed,     I won't turn out the light.

           - A                        -  D            E           

    Just       don't forget to      think about me and I

2.    Why does it feel the same to fall in love or break it up,

  A                                                      - D                    E

and if young love is just a game then,   I must have missed the kick off.

A                              D                E                       

    Don't depend on, if she ever followed you or

    A bouquet of clumsy words,        a simple melody,

    and she put up with my friends,     I acted like an ass.

      - A                              - D                      E

    I      ditched my lecture,      to watch the girls play soccer.

A                      - D                      E  

    Is my picture        still hanging in her locker?
