Am C
Today I talked to a semi-stranger
Em G
A girl that I sorta know
Am C
But every encounter at the corner grocery
Em G
Holds potential for our relationship to grow
Am C
And half of my brain was totally afraid
Em G
That she'd hate me, never want to see me again
Am C
And half of my brain was equally afraid
Em G
That she'd like me, want to be my friend
