Verse 1:
          A
I've been waiting for the right 
        D
time to tell her how I feel
          A
I've been waiting so long 
   E
to say what's on my mind
      A
But I just don't think 
     D                 E
that she's gonna understand
              A
That we could watch a stupid movie
        D
While I hold her by the hand
        A
Stay up all night talking but 
      E
we'll never get the chance
     A
So I wrote these words so 
D                  E
maybe she'll understand


Chorus 1:
That I've been
 D         E
staying up all night
A
Waiting for a phone call
 D         E
Staying up all night
A
Praying that I don't fall
D                       E
Madly in love with this girl
                      A    E D
that's gonna break my heart
                     A    E D
she's gonna break my heart
                     A    E D
she's gonna break my heart
                     E--
she's gonna break my heart     
(she'll break my heart
every time I see her)


Verse 2:
       A
Well I guess it's the right
        D
time to tell her how I feel
        A
It's my one last shot to
E
say what's on my mind
    A
But I just don't think
     D                 E
that she's gonna understand
       A
That I would drive all night
        D
just to see her for a day
      A
Make another broken promise
       E
If she says that I could stay
     A
So I wrote these words so
D                  E
maybe she'll understand


(Repeat Chorus 1)


Bridge:
C#m
   Every time I see 
                D
her smile that smile
I think that maybe she had 
A                  E
saved that one for me
C#m
   Then I realize that 
          D
I'm going crazy

Or maybe it's just my 
 A                      E
imagination working overtime
     D
Well you know the time
     E
On a girl that's
gonna break my-


Chorus 2:
 A    E D
-heart
                     A    E D
she's gonna break my heart
                     A    E D
she's gonna break my heart
                     A    E D
she's gonna break my heart
                     E--  A A(Hold)
she's gonna break my heart     
(she'll break my heart
every time I see her)
