 D
She, was only seventeen
Oh, why are girls in songs always seventeen?
She, was from a movie scene
And now she plays in my head all day

Chorus:
 G            A
She called me up
 D         Em
And let me in
G                   A
I couldn't feel my legs
G              A
She walked me back
D        Bm
Into her room
             G
But just to see
    A               D
A 1980s horror film

I, oh, I was so scared
She had the curtains down so there was no glare
She pulled up a chair, and gave me the bed
And all these crazy things went through my head

Chorus:
It seemed so long
I need someone
I don't know what to say
She was sitting there
I could touch her hair
But still we watched
Her 1980s horror film

 D
Jamie
                     Bm     A
I don't know what to say to you
D
I feel
                    Bm  A Em
You're always on my mind

                 G          D
And now that I know what I need
     A                   Em          G
I'm taking the long way round in my mind
          D
It's not right
   A                   Em       G
I can't help the way I feel anymore
       D      A
And I need to ask you, Jamie:
Em          G           D              A
Oh, can it be that you feel this way, too?

Chorus:
The lights were off
The mood was right
She came and laid with me
I looked into her eyes
And tried to make her mine
But then she said:
"I'm really not that into guys"
