C        D   G
Me-he-he-helanie,
Am            D
What can the problem be?
       C       D       G
Sweet Me-he-he-he-helanie,
C                D        G
Why won't you go out with me?


[Verse 1]

D          C                       G                      D
She lived across the street on the fifteenth floor of the Gilmore building.
Am        C             G                 D
I saw her in the shower reaching for some soap.
D          C             G                   D
I knew she had to be the girl for me, and to think I probably
Am               C
never would have found her,
     G                  D
If I hadn't bought that telescope.


[Chorus]

C        D   G
Me-he-he-helanie,
Am            D
What can the problem be?
       C       D       G
Sweet Me-he-he-he-helanie,
C                D        G
Why won't you go out with me?


[Verse 2]

D          C                       G                      D
I just can't understand it. Why won't you return my phone calls?
Am        C             G                 D
Are you still mad I gave a mohawk to your cat?
D          C             G                   D
If you'd just say the word, I'm certain that our love would last
 Am               C
forever and ever,
     G                  D
Or are you too dumb to realize that?


[Chorus]

C        D   G
Me-he-he-helanie,
Am            D
What can the problem be?
       C       D       G
Sweet Me-he-he-he-helanie,
C                D        G
Why won't you go out with me?


[Bridge]

Am                              D
How can you ignore me, when you know that I can't live without you?
Am                                C                   D
I have to go through your garbage just to learn more about you.
G    D      G      C        D
Melanieeeeeeeeeee, oooooooooooooo

       C       D       G
Oh sweet Me-he-he-he-helanie,
C                D        G
Why won't you go out with me?


[Verse 3]

D          C                       G                      D
You weren't impressed when I tattooed your name across my forehead.
Am        C             G                 D
You wouldn't listen when I promised to be true.
D          C             G                   D
I couldn't stand it, so I jumped out from the sixteenth story
    Am               C
window right above you.
     G                  D
Now I may be dead but I still love you.


[Chorus]

Sweet Me-he-he-he-helanie,
C                D        G
Why won't you go out with me?

             C        D   G
I'm singin' Me-he-he-helanie,
Am            D
What can the problem be?
       C       D       G
