                 A
You told me to skip school
                       D
To go with you to the movies
                  A
You knew you were uncool
                           D
But you thought you could fool me
          A             F#m
They play oldies in the afternoon
        E            D
For the elderly and me and you
A                F#m
Fred and Ginger, black and white
   E                       D
I watch you watch "It's a Wonderful Life"

You called me cerebral
I didn't know what you meant
But now I do, would it have killed you
To call me pretty instead?
I'm in a second-story window
And you're yelling at me, "Stella!"
And I'm laughing 'cause you think you're Brando
But you'll never come close

Chorus:
A                     E
All I need for you to admit
                  F#m                           D
Is that you never knew me like you thought you did
            A                           E
You never knew me like you thought you did
                      D
Like you thought you did

You say, "Here's lookin' at you, kid"
Thinking I wouldn't understand the reference
You admit, you think we're fated
I'll be lucky if I'm your third wife
That's only something you would say in the car
We've been breathing the same air for too long
If the snow wasn't coming down so hard
I would open the door and walk home
It's only a couple miles
What could go wrong
If I hitch a ride with a guy in a pickup
Who doesn't know left from right from wrong?

Chorus - x2
