D
She
D
Was only seventeen
Oh, why are girls in songs always seventeen?
D
She
D
Was from a movie scene
And now she plays in my head all day
G A
She called me up
D Em
And let me in
G A
I couldn't feel my legs
G A
She walked me back
D Bm
Into her room
G
But just to see
A D
A 1980s horror film
D
I
D
Oh, I was so scared
D
She had the curtains down
So there was no glare
D
She pulled up a chair
D
And gave me the bed
D
And all these crazy things
Went through my head
G A
It seems so long
D Em
I need someone
G A
I don't know what to say
G A
She was sitting there
D Bm
I could touch her hair
G
But still we watched
A
A 1980s horror film
D
Jamie
Bm A
I don't know what to say to you
D
I feel
Bm A Em
You're always on my mind
G D
And now that I know what I need
A Em G
I'm taking the long way round in my mind
D
It's not right
A Em G
I can't help the way I feel anymore
D A
And I need to ask you, Jamie:
Em G D A
Oh, can it be that you feel this way, too?
G A
The lights were off
D
The mood was right
G D
She came and laid with me
G A
I looked into her eyes
D
Tried to make her mine
G
But then she said
(one strum)
A
"I'm really not that into guys."
