Streetlight Manifesto – Kristina She Dont Know I Exist (Ukulele)

G                  C                D                         G
Not long ago in my high school days, I watched a girl from so far away,

Em                  C            D                          G
But every time she passed me by, I turned my head away and quietly sighed.

G                          C                D                    G                      Em
And when she walked by her hair would dance, a secret tango that only I could understand,

Em                            C           D                             G
And when she’d ask me for the time of day, I’d look her in the eyes and quietly say.

      G         C         D                       G
Oh Kristina, Kristina, do you have any clue who I am? (HELL NO!)

Em                      C                     D                              G
So listen up cause I’ll tell ya once and I’ll explain myself the best that I can, whoa,

   G         C               D                       G
Kristina, Kristina you don’t know me so I'll have to persist, (whistle)

Em                  C              D                       G
I’m kinda shy so no wonder why, Kristina she don’t know I exist.

G                       C           D                          G
From class to class, I followed her, but I swore I'd leave her undisturbed,

Em                             C             D                            G                 
And if she’d ever stopped and turned around, I’d get so nervous that I’d stare at the ground.

G                         C     D                             G                 Em
And then one day in photography, I found a contact print that I could not believe, 

Em                        C          D                      G
and there she was staring back at me, so I took her home so quietly.

   G         C         D                       G
Kristina, Kristina, do you have any clue who I am? (HELL NO!)

Em                      C                     D                              G
So listen up cause I’ll tell ya once and I’ll explain myself the best that I can, whoa,

   G         C               D                      G
Kristina, Kristina you don’t know me so I'll have to persist, (whistle)

Em                  C              D                       G
I’m kinda shy so no wonder why, Kristina she don’t know I exist.

1.17.98 has been a day that I’ve come to hate,

Em                    C           D                          G
As I walked into the video store, there she stood as my jaw fell to the floor.

G                    C               D                  G           Em
Tapping her toe, and waiting in line, with a movie and another guy,

Em               C               D                      G
Why did I bother, why did I care, about this girl named Kristina Behr?

   G         C             D                       G
Kristina, Kristina, you’ll never get to know who I am (YOUR LOSS!)

Em                 C                         D                          G
This is goodbye so please don’t cry and I'll let you down as softly as I can,

   G         C       D                           G
Kristina, Kristina, another name to cross off my list.

Em               C                          D                             G
Another life, it could’ve been nice, but Kristina she won’t know what she missed.
