Key: Eb major

Intro 1

Verse 1
Ab Ab 
 
I stick with real things
Usually facts and figures
When information's in its place
Gm Gm 
 
I minimize the guessing game
Guess what?
Gb Gb 
 
I don't like guessing games
Or when I feel things
Before I know the feelings
How am I supposed to operate
Fm Fm 
 
If I'm just tossed around by  fate?
Like on an unexpected date?

Pre-chorus 1
Ebm Ebm 
 
With a stranger who might talk  too fast
Ab Ab 
 
Or ask me questions about myself
Db Db 
 
Before I've decided that
Gb Gb 
 
He can ask me questions about myself
Ebm Ebm 
 
He might sit   too close
Ab Ab 
 
Or call the waiter by his first name
Db Db 
 
Or eat Oreos
Gb Gb 
 
But eat the cookie before the cream?
Ebm Ebm 
 
But what scares me the most
F F 
 
What scares me the most

Chorus 1
Bb Bb 
 
Is what if when he sees me,
what if he doesn't like it?
What if he runs the other
Eb Eb 
 
way and I can't hide from it?
Eb Eb 
 
What happens then?
Bb Bb 
 
If when he knows me,
he's only disappointed
What if I give myself away,
Eb Eb 
 
to only get it given back?
I couldn't live with that
F F 
 
Gm Gm 
 
So, I'm just fine, inside my shell-shaped mind
Eb Eb 
 
Cm Cm 
 
This way I get the best view
Ebm Ebm 
 
Ab Ab 
 
So, when  he sees me, I want him to

Verse 2
Ab Ab 
 
I'm not defensive
I'm simply being cautious
I can't risk reckless dating
Gm Gm 
 
Due to my miscalculating why
Gb Gb 
 
A certain suitor stands in line
I've seen in movies
Most made for television
You cannot be too careful
Fm Fm 
 
When it comes to sharing your life
I could end up a miserable wife

Pre-chorus 2
Ebm Ebm 
 
He could be criminal,
Ab Ab 
 
some sort of psychopath
Who escaped from an institution
Db Db 
 
Somewhere where they don't have girls
Gb Gb 
 
He could have masterminded
some way to find me
Ebm Ebm 
 
He could be color blind
Ab Ab 
 
How untrustworthy is that?
Db Db 
 
He could be less than kind
Gb Gb 
 
Or even worse he could be very nice,
Ebm Ebm 
 
have lovely eyes
B B 
 
And make me laugh, come out of hiding
F F 
 
What do I do with that?
Oh, God

Chorus 2
Bb Bb 
 
What if when he sees me
I like him and he knows it?
What if he opens up a door
Eb Eb 
 
And I can't close it?
Cm Cm 
 
What happens then?
Bb Bb 
 
If when he holds me
My heart is set in motion
I'm not prepared for that
Eb Eb 
 
I'm scared of breaking open
F F 
 
Eb Eb 
 
F F 
 
But still I   can't help from hoping
Gm Gm 
 
Eb Eb 
 
To find someone to talk to
F F 
 
Cm Cm 
 
Who likes the way I   am
Ebm Ebm 
 
Someone who when  he sees me
Bb Bb 
 
Bb Bb 
 
Wants to again
Bb Bb 
 
Bb Bb
