[Verse 1]
G C G
She is a girl I met one January noon
G C G
Borrowed some books and said that I'd return them soon
C C G/B
If she asked about them I wouldn’t find the words to say because
Am7 D G
I've never read a page until today
[Pre-Chorus]
C
Please be careful
C
You'll be careful
G
Won’t you
C
Do be careful
A/C# D
Don't you dare fall for words like these
[Chorus 1]
G Am7 C
I won't dare to make a move
G Am7 C
No I won't dare to make a move
[Verse 2]
G C G
She is a girl who's made of sugar more than spice
G C G
And, by some lovely accident, everything nice
G C G/B
She's wise beyond her years. It's in her soul, it's in her name
Am7 D G
She’s clumsy and childlike all the same
[Pre-Chorus]
C
Please be careful
C
You'll be careful
G
Won’t you
C
Do be careful
A/C# D
Don't you dare fall for words like these
[Chorus 2]
G Am7 C D
I won't dare to make a move
G Am7 C D
No I won't dare to make a move
G Am7 C D
I won't dare to make a move
G Am7 C D
No I won't dare to make a move

[Bridge]
G D/F#
Keep this story in a bottle
C G
Throw it out into the sea
G D/F#
It could sink under the water
C G
Or find its way to you and me
C D
And by God if it's the latter
Bm B7
Then maybe then maybe
Am7 - D (HOLD)
It’s meant to be
[INTRO CHORDS]
[Verse 3]
G C G
She is a poet, and she was barefoot on stage
G C G
Saw her November under starlight and the rain
G C G/B
I am a troubadour, my feet were meant to roam
Am7 D G
But when I heard her words I longed for home
