Em  G  D  A  D x6

Verse 1:
Em                    G
   Met a girl in the parking lot
D                     A        Em
   And all I did was say hello
Em                            G
   Her pepper spray made it rather hard
D                       A
   For me to walk her home
         Em               G/D       A
   But I guess that's the way it goes

Chorus:
D                        A
   Tell me again was it love at first sight
     Em                      G
   When I walked by and you caught my eye
D                              A
   Didn't you know love could shine this bright
       Em                         G      
   Well smile because you're the deer in the headlights

Interlude: Em  G  D  A  D x4

Verse 2:
Em                     G
   Met a girl with a graceful charm
   D                        A           Em
   But when beauty met the beast, he froze
 Em                    G
   Got the sense I was not her type
      D                      A
   By black eye and bloody nose
         Em                G/D    A
   But I guess that's the way it goes

Chorus
D                        A
   Tell me again was it love at first sight
     Em                      G
   When I walked by and you caught my eye
D                              A
   Didn't you know love could shine this bright
       Em                         G      
   Well smile because you're the deer in the headlights

Interlude: Em  G  D  A  D x4


Bridge:
D             A
   It's suffocating to say
            Em                        G
   But the female mystique takes my breath away
       D                   A
   So give me a smile or give me a sneer
               Em               A
   'Cause I'm trying to guess here



Chorus:
D                         A
   Tell me again was it love at first sight
        Em                   G
   When I walked by and you caught my eye
D                              A
   Didn't you know love could shine this bright
       Em                 G
   I'm sorry I ever tried (deer in the headlights)

Chorus:
D                        A
   Tell me again was it love at first sight
        Em                   G
   When I walked by and you caught my eye
D                               A
   Didn't you know love could shine this bright
       Em        G               Em          A
   If life was a game, you would never play nice
       Em         G               Em             A
   If love was a beam, you'd be blind in both eyes
             Em         G                  Em           A
   Put your sunglasses on 'cause you're a deer in the headlights

Ending:
Em  G  D  A  D 
Em  G  D  A  D 
(You're the deer in the headlights)
Em  G  D  A  D  x5
Em  G  D  A  D 
(You're the deer in the headlights)

End on D
