[Verse 1]
  F                   Dm                C     Gm
I first met Mellie in art class in high school

          Bb                      C                     Dm       C   F
With her short brown bob, she was better than Bateman's best

        Dm                     C       Gm    Bb
I never thought I'd ever see a miracle

               C                         Dm     C
And who'd have thought it would be in an arcade?
[Chorus]
         F             Dm
Well she moved like an angel

         F           Dm
And she spoke like a memory

         F             Dm
And she smoked like a chimney

        Eb                                  Dm     C
And she completed Dragon's Lair on just one quarter

            F      Bb   Eb
On just one quarter

             F     Bb   Eb
On just one quarter

             F
On just one quarter
[Verse 2]
             Dm               C      Gm   Bb
I called her up, but she wasn't home

                C                             Dm       C     F
I knew she was downstairs, but her dad didn't like me

        Dm                     C        Gm    Bb
I never thought I'd ever see a miracle

                        C                        Dm    C
I called her back in 10 minutes and disguised my voice
[Chorus]
  F             Dm
I spoke like an actor

      F            Dm
And I moved like a burglar

       F           Dm
Then I lied like a carpet

      Eb                        Dm    C
And I did a phony survey on her whole family

             F     Bb    Eb
On her whole family

             F     Bb    Eb
On her whole family

             F     Bb     Eb
On her whole family
F Bb Eb [Bridge]
Dm        C                      Bb  Dm    Gm
Nobody at school knew what I was trying to do

Eb              F                 Bb  Dm   G
But right after art class, I made history

                Cm
'Cause when you love someone

                         F
Yeah, and you don't even know no one
[Instrumental] F Dm C Gm Bb C Dm C x2 [Chorus]
    F             Dm
She moved like an angel

    F            Dm
She spoke like a memory

         F          Dm
Then she moved to Alberta

          Eb                            Dm        C
I'm gonna visit her at grandma's well, maybe next week

            F        Bb   Eb
Yeah, maybe next week

                F        Bb   Eb
Okay, maybe not next week

      F    Bb   Eb
Maybe never

                 F     Bb   Eb
Maybe it doesn't matter

               F   Bb   Eb
Maybe it never did

                 F     Bb  Eb
It didn't matter at all
F Bb Eb x3
