  The hand of my clock strikes two

    A
And every night we couldn't sleep
B                                       C#m
  I didn't know why, but didn't ask questions
                   B
because it was the first time in my life
         A
yeah the first time in my life
      E(hold)
Where I, did something right

                     B
And think that I'm impressed
with your one night stands
    A               B
and your contagious kiss
