[Verse 1]
E          B              C#m         E
She rushes in through the front door.
F#m         B                  E
Puts up her hair she’s running late.
E             B            C#m      E
She takes her place at the counter.
    A               C#m   B
Her fingers brush a stray strand from her face.


[Verse 2]
E        B                  C#m       E
I then approach to place my order.
F#m          B          E
She looks up at me in a daze.
E               B              C#m       E
I say something dumb about the weather.
  A             C#m           B
I only know her name from the badge on her chest.


[Chorus 1]
C#m A      C#m       B       E
Ade-laide, won’t you look at me
C#m A      C#m     B         E
Ade-laide, darling can’t you see
   B
I adore you

[Verse 3]
E        B           C#m         E
I glance up from the headlines.
F#m         B              E
She asks me what else do I want.
E             B              C#m       E
Lays down the check before I answer.
  A            C#m      B
A little heart drawn in Green by her name.


[Chorus 2]
C#m A      C#m       B       E
Ade-laide, won’t you look my way
C#m A      C#m     B         E
Ade-laide, I just want to say
  B
I adore you!
C#m A      C#m B   E
Ade-laide, A --Ade-laide
C#m A      C#m B   E
Ade-laide, A --Ade-laide
   B
I adore you


[Bridge]
E                        C#m  G# C#m
I’m gonna tell her how I feel to-day
E                       C#m G# C#m
No, nothing’s gonna get in  my way
    F#m7    B
Our love is fate.

[Verse 4]
E     B              C#m         E
I get up and push my chair in.
    F#m      B                E
And Motion towards her with a wave.
E          B               C#m     E
she turns away and doesn’t notice.
   A                C#m       B
As someone from the back room calls out her name.


[Chorus 3]

C#m A      C#m B   E
Ade-laide, A --Ade-laide
C#m A      C#m B   E
Ade-laide, A --Ade-laide
C#m A      C#m B   E
Ade-laide, A --Ade-laide
   B
I adore you
