[Verse 1]
Ab
I stick with real things
Usually facts and figures
When information's in
Its place I minimize
Gm
The guessing game
Guess what?
I don't like guessing
Gb
Games or when I feel things
Before I know the feelings
How am I supposed to
Operate if I'm just
Fm
Tossed around by fate?
Like on an unexpected date
With a stranger who
[Pre-Chorus]
Ebm
Might talk too fast
Ab
Or ask me questions
About myself before
Db
I've decided that
He can ask me
Gb
Questions about myself
Db/F Ebm
He might sit too close
Ab
Or call the waiter
By his first name
Db
Or eat Oreos
Gb
But eat the cookie
Before the cream
Db/F Ebm
But what scares
Me the most
F
What scares
Me the most
[Chorus]
Bb
Is what if when he sees me
What if he doesn't like it?
What if he runs the other
Eb
Way and I can't hide from it
Ebdim
What happens then if
Bb
When he knows me
He's only disappointed?
What if I give myself away
Eb
To only get it given back?
Ebdim
I couldn't live with that
[Post-Chorus]
F
So I'm just fine inside
Gm
My shellshaped mind
This way
Eb
I get the best view
Cm Ebm6
So when he sees me,
Ab
I want him to
[Verse 2]
Ab
I'm not defensive
I'm simply
Being cautious
I can't risk
Reckless dating
Due to my
Gm
Miscalculating why
A certain
Suitor stands
Gb
In line I've seen
In movies
Most made
For television
You cannot be
Too careful
When it comes to
Fm
Sharing your life
I could end up
A miserable wife
Ebm
He could be criminal
[Pre-Chorus]
Ab
Some sort of psychopath
Who escaped from
An institution somewhere
Db
Where they don't have girls
He could have
Gb
Masterminded some
Way to find me
Db/F Ebm
He could be color blind
Ab
How untrustworthy is that?
Db
He could be less than kind
Gb
Or even worse,
Db/F
He could be very nice,
Ebm
Have lovely eyes
Ebm7
And make me laugh
B
Come out of hiding
F
What do I do with that?
Oh god
[Chorus]
Bb
What if when he sees me
I like him and he knows it
What if he opens up
Eb
A door and I can't close it?
Ebdim
What happens then?
Bb
If when he holds me
My heart is set in motion
I'm not prepared for that
Eb
I'm scared of breaking open
F Gm
But still I can't help
F
From hoping
[Post-Chorus]
Gm Eb
To find someone to talk to
F Cm
Who likes the way I am
Ebm6
Someone who when
He sees me, wants to again
[Outro]
