G
I know a boy
    C#m7-5
He likes to laugh
      C
His brain is mess
               G
But I like it like that

G
I know a boy
    C#m7-5
He tastes like the moon
              C
Hangs up the stars
                   G     D7
That dance 'round my room

             G
We paint by numbers
          C#m7-5
But color outside the lines
                  C
We don't do what we should
               G    D7
We beat to our own time

Chorus:
  G  A
Baby
          C          G
Love can be so damn magical
    G  A
Hey we
             C
Are already lovesick
      G
And flower pickin'
  G          A
Daisies and roses
  C          G
We're doing fine
Baby
      A
Our roses
  C        G
Are intertwined

D
I know a boy
           G
And he is mine
C  G
Mmm
