          G                        D 
She's the prettiest girl I have ever seen 
            Em                    C 
The walking definition of a beauty queen 
      G                           D 
Every man in town wants to take her away

You should have seen that girl ten years ago 
       Em                     C 
With a cool-aid moustache and freckle nose

I really can't believe how much that girl has changed 
      C                     Em                             
She's out of my life, she's out of my reach 
    D#                            Em        D      
I'm out of her mind, she's out of my league
