======================================

Hey there! I absolutely love this song, so I figured out of nowhere that I'd tab it out 
(Kinda impulsive, I know). Now, there may be

some flaws (especially on lead. :O)--and I'd really appreciate it if you'd point them 
out--but after a lot of ear/brainwork, here it is!

And I think it's at least 95% AWESOME, if not more. And it's pretty easy to play, too.

Ennnnjoy.

D5 (xx023x@1)                G5 (355xxx@1) Met a girl in the parking lot

B5 (x244xx@1)                  A5 (x022xx@1) And all I did was say hello

D5 (xx023x@1)                       G5 (355xxx@1) Her pepper spray made it rather hard

B5 (x244xx@1)                 A5 (x022xx@1) For me to walk her home

B5 (x244xx@1)                    A5But (x022xx@1)I guess that's the way it goes

--Chorus--

D5 (xx023x@1)                 A5Tell (x022xx@1)me again was it love at first sight

B5 (x244xx@1)                G5When (355xxx@1)I walked by and you caught my eye

D5 (xx023x@1)                         A5 (x022xx@1) Didn't you know love could shine this bright

G5 (355xxx@1)    B5 (x244xx@1)             G5 (355xxx@1)        A5Well (x022xx@1)smile because you're the deer in the headlights

D5 (xx023x@1)               G5 (355xxx@1)Met a girl with a graceful charm

B5 (x244xx@1)                     A5But (x022xx@1)when beauty met the beast he froze

D5 (xx023x@1)                 G5 (355xxx@1)Got the sense I was not her type

B5 (x244xx@1)                 A5By (x022xx@1)the black eye and bloody nose

B5 (x244xx@1)                    A5But (x022xx@1)I guess that's the way it goes



D5 (xx023x@1)                 A5Tell (x022xx@1)me again was it love at first sight

Rythm Guitar:

E5 (022xxx@1)        G5 (355xxx@1) It's suffocating to say

B5 (x244xx@1)                     G5But (355xxx@1)the female mystique takes my breath away

E5 (022xxx@1)                  G5So (355xxx@1)give me a smile or give me a sneer

B5 (x244xx@1)            G5 (355xxx@1) A5Cause (x022xx@1)I'm trying to guess here



D5 (xx023x@1)                 A5Tell (x022xx@1)me again was it love at first sight

G5 (355xxx@1)      B5 (x244xx@1)           G5 (355xxx@1)          A5If (x022xx@1)love was a beam, you'd be blind in both eyes

G5 (355xxx@1)       B5Put (x244xx@1)your sunglasses on

G5 (355xxx@1)        A5Cause (x022xx@1)you're the deer in the headlights
