Intro: G C9 D/F# G
G
Filling my belly at my favorite diner

C9
Filling my napkin with clever one liners

D/F#                             G
Another night of wishing I could fall asleep

G
I see her three booths down from mine

C9
In my head, I pull off every line

D/F#                           G
In my head, she's falling over me

G
Another cup of coffee please

C9
I hope this nervous twitch in my knees

D/F#                      G
Slips by her radar undetected

G
Why do I always have to act like this?

C9
Her smile is a razor on the wrist

D/F#
Of everything that's keeping me

G          D/F#
Cool, calm and collected

Em7          C9
Goddamn this nerve of mine

  G                   D/F#               Em7
I wanna walk over and see what's on your mind

            C9                    G          D/F#
Pull on the thread that makes you fall apart

Em7                  C9
Would you wanna come home with me?

        G                    D/F#               Em7
Or just leave this place and get some coffee?

                 C9                 G
We'll talk about movies, music and fun things to do

D/F#           G
With a broken heart

G
My napkin's full and so am I

C9
No reason to stay, but I'll try

D/F#                             G
To look busy - I hope that I can fake it

G
Did she just smile at me?

C9
Do I have something in my teeth?

D/F#
I'm gonna have a heart attack and waste it

G
Before she even has a chance to break it

Em7          C9
Goddamn this nerve of mine

  G                   D/F#               Em7
I wanna walk over and see what's on your mind

We'll talk about movies, music and fun things to do

D/F#           G
With a broken heart

Em7
My heart won't beat

C9
Down at my feet

G              D/F#
Suddenly she's my worst enemy

Em7
With Cupid's fleet

C9
Aiming at me

G               D/F#
Waiting to lead she to victory

Em7
I hold what's left

C9
Of my last breath

G             D/F#
As I brace myself for certain death

Em7             C9                           G
But I'll gladly take one to one to the heart

                 D/F#           G
For a chance to make her fall apart
