Verse 1:

D                             A
People always told me that it hurts to be in love 
        D                     A
There's nothing we can do but pray to God above 
     G                           A
I've heard a lot of stories that all end sad 
    A                              D
But nothing that I've heard sounds quite this bad 
     G      A                 D
It's hard enough when love is unrequited 
    G           A           D
But what do you do when her boyfriend's dead 

Chorus 1:

    G       A              D
She was the first girl who ever made me fall 
       G                A
I just took too long to ask her 
       D             Bm
To the freaking Yule Ball 
G                  A
Hair like silk and eyes aglow 
        D                       Bm
And she looked so pretty in her schoolgirl robes 
    G              A
And skin like porcelain 
                       D
But she's a dead boy's girlfriend 
    A                  D
Oh, she's a dead boy's girlfriend 

Verse 2:

  D                            A
I gulped down my Gillyweed and jumped into the lake 
    D                              A
Not knowing who the masters of the tournament would take 
  G                            A
I dodged the merpeople and the Grindylow 
        A                         D
And saw three pretty girls there, floating in a row 
           G            A               D
But it was freaking Ron Weasley who was waiting for me 
G           A                D
She was the prize for Cedric Diggory 

Chorus 2:

    G       A              D
She was the first girl who ever made me fall 
       G                A
I just took too long to ask her 
       D             Bm
To the freaking Yule Ball 
G                  A
Hair like silk and eyes aglow 
        D                       Bm
And she looked so pretty in her schoolgirl robes 
    G              A
And skin like porcelain 
                       D
But she's a dead boy's girlfriend 
    A                  D
Oh, she's a dead boy's girlfriend 

Bridge:

   G            A      Bm
On that fateful night, Cedric and I 
   G             A           Bm
We finished that maze at the very same time 
   G                  A         Bm
We grabbed that cup together to share the glory 
G               A              Bm                  A
I thought maybe he could share something else with me 
      G             A
But a minute later, he was dead 
              G                   A
And you could never wanna be with me instead 
          G                   A
You could never wanna be with me instead 
G                   A
Never wanna be with me instead 

Chorus 3:

    G        A              D
You were the first girl who ever made me fall 
       G                A
I just took too long to ask you 
       D             Bm
To the freaking Yule Ball 
G                  A
Hair like silk and eyes aglow 
        D                        Bm
And you looked so pretty in your schoolgirl robes 
    G              A
And skin like porcelain 
                       D
But she's a dead boy's girlfriend 
    A                  D
Oh, she's a dead boy's girlfriend 

Verse 3:

D                       A
Now it seems that all I make you do is cry 
D                        A
I can never snog you and it's no secret why 
G                                A
He's still there between us even though he's gone 
A                      D
Cheating on a dead guy is so very wrong 
       G        A      D
You'll probably have a very nice life 
           G                A    D
But you'll probably have to be a boring muggle's wife 

Final Chorus:

    G        A              D
You were the first girl who ever made me fall 
       G                A
I just took too long to ask you 
       D             Bm
To the freaking Yule Ball 
G                  A
Hair like silk and eyes aglow 
        D                        Bm
And you looked so pretty in your schoolgirl robes 
    G              A
And skin like porcelain 
                       D
But she's a dead boy's girlfriend 
    A                  D
Oh, she's a dead boy's girlfriend 
      A                  D
Yeah, she's a dead boy's girlfriend
