G Bm Met a girl in the parking lot D A F#m G And all I did was say hello Bm Her pepper spray made it rather hard Em G A For me to walk her home G Bm A But I guess that’s the way it goes Chorus: D A Tell me again was it love at first sight Em G When I walked by and you caught my eye D A Didn’t you know love could shine this bright G Bm G A Well smile because you’re the deer in the headlights Met a girl with a graceful charm But when beauty met the beast, he froze Got the sense I was not her type By a black eye and bloody nose But I guess that's the way it goes Chorus Bm A It’s suffocating to say Em G But the female mystique takes my breath away D A So give me a smile or give me a sneer G A ‘Cause I’m trying to guess here Chorus: Tell me again, was it love at first sight When I walked by and you caught my eye? Didn't you know love could shine this bright? I'm sorry I ever tried (deer in the headlights) Tell me again, was it love at first sight When I walked by and you caught my eye? Didn't you know love could shine this bright? If life was a game, you would never play nice If love was a beam, you'd be blind in both eyes Put your sunglasses on 'cause you're a deer in the headlights You're the deer in the headlights You're the deer in the headlights You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Bm  D  Em  F#m  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
