Verse 1

Please take me by the hand, it's so cold out tonight

I'll put blankets on the bed I won't turn out the light

                   (C#5)   (E5)
     B5              E5     F#5           B5
just don't forget to think about me and I won't
          (C#5)             (E5)
           E5               F#5
forget you. "I'll write you once a week" she said.

Verse 2

Why does it feel the same to fall in love or break it up

And if young love is just a game then, I must have missed

the kick off.

              (C#5)        (E5)
B5             E5           F#5              B5
Don't depend on if she ever followed you or anything,
   (C#5)           (E5)
    E5             F#5
but I'd go through hell for you.

And I haven't been this scared, in a long time

And I'm so unprepared, so here's your valentine

A bouquet of clumsy words, a simple melody. This

world's an ugly place, but you're so beautiful to me


intro 2 (2X)


Verse 3, palm mute intro

I think about the times, she kissed me after class.

And she put up with my friends. I acted like an ass.

                    (C#5)           (E5)
   B5                 E5             F#5
I ditched my lecture, to watch the girls play soccer.
             (C#5)         (E5)
 B5           E5            F#5
Is my picture still hanging in her locker?
