[Verse 1]
E                         A
I met someone tonight who touched my heart
  C                           G              D
I asked her to dance she said that sounded good
E                     A
I kept her company as she walked home
  C                      G          D
I wanted to know her and she understood
E                        A
I felt in love and I was very shy
C                        G              D
I shook her hand and she gave me her number
E                    A
I felt afraid as she walked to her door
         C                   D             E
Then she turned and said she wanted to see me some more

[Verse 2]
E                       A
I ran back home just as fast as I could
  C                           G         D
I knew I wouldn't sleep for a week or two
E                            A
I'll make some coffee that I couldn't drink
  C                    G                   D
I knew if I won her my dreams would come true
E                       A
All of a sudden my eyes started to cry
C                    G              D
Her magic number was no where to be found
E                              A
My heart was screaming when my mind realized
    C                 D               E
The wind had come and stole it when I wrote it down

[Chorus]
         C#m                             E
Have you ever lost your number it's like losing your world
         C#m                           E
Have you slept on a cloud when there's thunder
         C#m                       E
Have you ever lost the number of a magic girl
          A         D          E
(I need a shoulder) I lost her number
          A         D          E
(I need a shoulder) I lost her number
         C#m                             E
Have you ever lost your number it's like losing your world
         C#m                           E
Have you slept on a cloud when there's thunder
         C#m                       E
Have you ever lost the number of a magic girl
          A         D          E
(I need a shoulder) I lost her number
          A         D          E
(I need a shoulder) I lost her number
          A         D          E
(I need a shoulder) I lost her number

[Verse 3]
E                              A
It took me three weeks just to find her door
C                        G              D
Tears in my eyes made it hard to discover
E                              A
I found it twice and then I wondered once more
C                        G             D
Was she at home? Did she have a new number?
E                           A
I broke the door down and I choked inside
C                      G              D
She'd move forever and I'd never find her
E                              A
An empty house, but she'd left something behind
  C                       G        D
I fell as I stared at the tragic reminder
   E                           A           N.C.
On every wall in every room to my surprise

[Outro]
N.C.         C               D                E
She'd hung a picture of her two beautiful rainbow eyes
