Tom: G

Verse 
 
G                                 Em 
That day, I first saw you passing by 
G                              Em               D 
I wanted, to ask your name but I...was much too shy 
          G 
But I was looking at you so hard 
         Em 
That you must have had a hunch. 
       C 
So you came up to me and asked me my name.  
 
                   G 
You beat me to the punch 
     Em 
That time 
                   G 
You beat me to the punch 
        Em 
Yes you did.  
 
Verse 
 
G                               Em 
After, I had known you for what seems like a long, long time 
  G                                   Em                D 
I wanted, wanted to ask you would you please, please be mine 
         G                           
Whenever you came around, my heart would pound 
   Em 
So you must have had a hunch. 
       C                 
So you came up to me and asked me to be yours.  
 
                   G 
You beat me to the punch 
         Em 
One more time 
                   G 
You beat me to the punch 
        Em 
Yes you did.  
 
      C 
Since I loved you 
  D 
I thought you would be true 
    G       Em 
And love me tender 
     G            Em 
So I let my heart surrender 
   G          Em 
To you, yes I did. 
 
    C 
But I found out 
   D 
Beyond a doubt 
    G 
One day, boy 
           Em 
You were a playboy 
          C 
Who would go away and leave me 
D 
Blue. 
 
                 G 
So I ain't gonna wait around for you to put me down 
     Em 
This time I'm gonna play my hunch 
    C 
And walk away this very day. 
                    G 
And beat you to the punch 
      Em 
Yes I will 
                     G 
I'll beat you to the punch 
     Em 
This time.
