How can I explain how I feel?
|Asus4 |G Gmaj7/F# D |
I'm like a little kid runnin' at her heel
|Gsus4/C |Giii |D G5 D| D G5 D |
She's giving me looks like she thinks I'm a snappy dresser
How can I tell what I should plan?
I've never kissed a girl or held her hand
She's waiting for me to move, I got to impress her
|A5 D D G|G D D
I play guitar in a mainstream band
A5|A5 D D G|G D D
I got three red jackets and a Fender Jazz
A5|A5 D D G|G D D
I got Charlie Parker's autograph
[2/4] [4/4]
A5 |A5 D D |G |D | | | |
The girl I move with's hung up on grass
She moved her seat next to mine
But I'm just playin' for time
I ain't got the guts to let her see the real me
|D A5 |G5 D A5|
My confidence eroded away
|A5 A6 A5 A6 |G Gmaj7/F# D |
Overhearing what children say
|Gsus4/C |Giii |D G5 D| D G5 D |
So I'm trying to make myself seem more appealing
I know your man is in to playin' jazz bass
I tried that myself but I need more space
Like to soar and fly like the big Birdman
When I met him last week, he shook my hand
[bridge]
|Asus4 |A5 |Asus4 |A5
Every lie I tell weaves another spell, another road that ends up blind
|Bsus4 |B
The Bird that shook my hand was a long-dead man
|Bsus4 |B |
I think you knew that all the time
|E B |A5 E5/Ab B |
I came so close to having you for me
|Bsus4 |A5 (Ab)(G) E |
But I lost you in the fantasy
|Dx/A |Av |E A/C# E | E A/C# E |
I pretended to myself that you were mine already
|E B |A5 E5/Ab B |
You waited, but deep in your eyes
|B B6 B B6 |A5 (Ab)(G) E |
You were watching me so worldly wise
|Dx/A |Av |E A5 E| E A/C# E |
Then you changed the subject and talked about going steady

|B E E A|A E E
I've got two hundred records and a big hi-fi
B |B E E A|A E E
I sit and listen to Ella and Basie all night
B|B E E A|A E E
I play modern jazz of every variety
[2/4] [4/4]
|B Esus4 |A |E
You could come and listen but we close tonight
