[Bb] [Gm] [N]
Now in my younger days I used to wear a shag When I went to school I carried lunch in a
bag With an apple for my teacher cause I knew
I could get it
Always got mad when the class [Ebm] wasn't [Ab] smitten But when it was a session I always had a question
I would raise my hand to make her stand cause she might just get it
Helped me with my problems [B] it was never much [A] Just a chick to spell her name and try to
speak [Bbm] a touch Oh wow I wish I could hold her hand and give
her a hug She was married to the man he [F] was a thug
His name was Lee he drove in C he picked her up from school probably at 3 o'clock
[Bbm] I was on her docket and [Eb] deedy I [Db] wrote graffiti on the blast
First I write her name in [Eb] cardboard blocks With my name last until it's the last
I saw her at the casino yesterday but still I had to let her pass
[Abm]
[Bbm] She [Ebm] keeps on passing [E] [F] me by [Db]
[Ab] She keeps on [Gb] passing me [B] by
[Bb] She [F] keeps on passing me by [B]
[Fm] She keeps on passing [Dbm] me [Bb] by
When I dream of fairy [N] tales I think of me and Shelly
She's my type of hype and I can't stand her brother's heli
Now I should quit chasing and look for something better
But the smile that she shows makes me a [Ab] dope dealer
[Bb] I haven't gone as long as [Ab] asking if I could get with her
[D] I just play love by ear [Eb] and hope she gets to meet ya
I'm shooting for her heart got my finger [Bb] on the trigger
She can be my broad and I can be her
All I can do is say [Gb] her back is his We used to kiss when we played [Bb] tooth and day
Now she's [N] more sophisticated highly edumacated Not at all overrated
I think I [Bb] need a prayer ticket and a book [Fm] And it looks rather dry
I guess a twinkle in her eye is just a twinkle in her eye
Although she's crazy [Eb] deafened I'll try and stop the stride
Cause I won't have no more of this passin' [Bb] me by
I used to be the voice in my opinion Can't be frickin' if she didn't have me
Strung like a dick and chasing my tail like a doggy
She was kinda like a star [Eb] singing I was [N] like a fan
Damn she looked good down south She had a man he was a Rudy suit
A nicken pooh She told me soon you'll let the birdies on the fava coon
She was a flake like corn and I was born not to understand
But letting her pass I proved to be a better [B] man
[Ab] She gave some class [E] to see [B] me fly
She gave some class to see me fly
[Bb] She [Abm] gave some class to see me fly
[Ebm] She gave some class [E] to see me [N]
fly
Now there she goes again The dope is Ethiopian
And now the world around me Begins moving in slow motion
Whenever she happens to walk by Why does the apple of my eye
Overlook indiscreet all my feelings No matter how much I try
[Bbm] Wait no wait Not really pursue my little princess with persistence
And I was so low-key that she was unaware of my existence
From a distance I decided Secretly admire her
Quiet her Unlead her Together and it went
My dear my dear my dear You [Ebm] do not know me but I know you very well
Now let me tell you [Fm] about the feelings I've been for you when I try
Or make some sort of attempt I simp Damn I wish I wasn't such a wimp
Cause then I would [Bb] let you know that [F] I love you so
And if I was your man then I would be true
The only line I would do is send a [Bb] bear with you
Then I turned to send someone who loves you dearly
Cause he has loved me tender
The latter came back three days later
We turned to send [Abm] her
She [Ebm] gave [Dbm] some class to [B] see me fly
[Abm] She
[Bbm] gave some class [Dbm] to see [B] me fly
[Fm] She gave some [Abm] class to see me fly
