Hopelessly reaching
G#
Out for this girl
       F#
Who's out of this world
   G#
Believe me

She's got a boyfriend
He drives me round the bend
'Cause he's 23
He's in the marines
He'd kill me

F#           C#
But so many nights now
F#              C#            D#m   G#
I find myself thinking about her now

Chorus:
         C#                    F
Cos Obviously, she's outta my league
              F#                        D#
But how can i win she keeps dragging me in,
and i know i
F#             G#             C#       F
never will be good enough for her, no no.
F#             F#m             C#
never will be good enough for her

I gotta escape now
Get on a plane now, yeah
Off to L.A
And that's where I'll stay
For two years

I'll put it behind me (put it behind me)
Go to a place where she can't find me, oh

Chorus:
'Cause obviously
She's out of my league
I'm wasting my time
'Cause she'll never be mine
And I know I never will be good enough for her
No, no
I never will be good enough for her

F               F#              C#
She's outta my hands, and i'll never know where

Enough, enough enough for her.
  G#             F#                    C#
(Good enough for her) Good enough for her.

Chorus:
'Cause obviously
She's out of my league
I'm wasting my time
'Cause she'll never be mine
And I know I never will be good enough for her
'Cause obviously
She's out of my league
But how can I win
She keeps dragging me in
And I know I never will be good enough for her

'Cause obviously
She's out of my league
I'm wasting my time
'Cause she'll never be mine
And I know I never will be good enough for her
No, no
I never will be good enough for her
