D C Tuesday morning, 8:15 D I was riding to work on the G F Jackson Park Express D C Seemed like any other day D Then my whole world changed G F A In a way I never could have guessed G Cause she walked in, oh oh oh oh oh A C G Took the seat right across the aisle A G I knew we had a special connection A C The second I saw her smile G A She smiled as if to say D A/C# Bm "Hello, Haven't seen you on this bus before" G A I gave her a look that said D A/C# Bm Bm7 Em "Huh, Life is funny, you never know what's in store G A By the way, your hair is beautiful C D I bet it smells like raisins" G C D She looked at me in a way that asked Bm "Did you have a nose job or something? C G C G C Bb I'm only asking, cause your nose looks slightly better A Than the rest of your face" Am G F I arched my eyebrow, ever so slightly A G A Which was my way of asking D D/C D/B D/A G "Do you want my old Hewlett-Packard printer?
