D         A              Bm                 A#
He was a boy, she was a girl, can I make it any more obvious?
D         A             Bm           C
He was a punk, she did ballet, what more can I say?
D          A                Bm                 A#
He wanted her, she'd never tell that secretly she wanted him as well
D                A                     Bm                C
But all of her friends stuck up their nose, they had a problem with his
F
baggy clothes

Chorus:
           C                           A#
He was a skater boy, she said see you later boy,
           A               F
he wasn't good enough for her
            C                             A#
She had a pretty face, but her head was up in space,
               A                 A#
she needed to come back down to earth

 D               A                Bm
Five years from now, she sits at home,
            A#
feeding the baby, she's all alone
D             A                Bm
She turns on TV, guess who she sees
            C
Skater boy rocking up MTV
 D                 A                     Bm
She calls up her friends, they already know
                    A#
and they've all got tickets to see his show
D          A                   Bm
She tags along, stands in the crowd,
                           C
looks up at the man that she turned down

Chorus - x2

Dm                          F
Sorry girl, but you missed out,
                                  C
Well, tough luck that boy's mine now
                            A#
We are more than just good friends
         A            Dm
This is how the story ends
                           F
Too bad that you couldn't see,
                            C
See the man that boy could be
                             A#
There is more than meets the eye
           A              D
I see the soul that is inside

             A                  Bm
He's just a boy and I'm just a girl
              A#
Can I make it any more obvious?
D          A                 Bm           C
We are in love, haven't you heard how we rock
each other's world?

Chorus:
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm with the skater boy (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I said, "See you later, boy" (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'll be backstage after the show (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'll be at our studio (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Singin' the song we wrote (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
About a girl you used to know (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm with the skater boy (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I said, "See you later, boy" (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'll be backstage after the show (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'll be at our studio (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Singin' the song we wrote (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
About a girl you used to know
