[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

[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
