Am Em She was sixteen and six feet tall Dm C Am In a crowd of teenagers coming out of the zoo Em She stumbled started to slip and fall Dm Teeter-tottered on the top of C Am patent leather shoes Em I happened to catch her and said Dm C "Maybe these ruby shoes are a little Am Em Am cumbersome for you" Em Am Em Am Maybe for you, now But not as shaky as I must have seemed Talking junk through her giggle, little teenage dream And on the phone I could not compete My dumb-luck fake competence was getting weak For a sec' I thought I sounded sweet But sure enough in a gruff, faint voice I heard myself speak Chorus: D A I could stay a while C G But sooner or later I'll break your smile D A And I can tell a joke C G But one of these days I'm bound to choke D A And we could share a kiss C G But I feel like I can't go through with this D A And I bet we could build a home C G But I know the right thing for me to do Am Em Am Em Is to leave you alone Am Em Leave you alone, now Am Em I'm beginning to like you D C So you probably won't get what I'm going to do Am Em I'm walking away from you D C It probably don't make much sense to you Am Em But I'm trying to save you D From all of the things that C Am Em Am I'll probably say or do Em Am Em Am I'll probably do Chorus You'll probably call me a fool And say I'm doing exactly what a coward would do And I'm beginning to like you It's a shame what a lame way to live But what can I do?
