A5                                    E5
  There?s a room where she kept all her dolls
                               G5
They covered the floor and the walls
                       D5
And she talked to them there

A5                             E5
  By the pool she would always attract
                                   G5
All the guys who were out on their backs
               D5
With her towel rapped
            F5
Now did she know
                                A5
That she caught all the eyes in town
                      E5      F5
Watching her walking around

C5                                          G5
  She was the match that would strike up a light
                                D5
And the day that said hi to the night
                       F5
And she was bowling me down
                 C5
And I was praying
                              G5
As I struggled to stand on my feet
                                    D5
I walked tall with her there on the street
                      F5
But as the earth spun around
A(no3) Bb5 (no3) G(no3) x2 (as intro)
Hope was fading

A5                                     E5
  There was a room where I kept all my things
                         G5
Baseball caps fraternity rings
                D5
And I played my guitar
F5                                   A5
  With her picture pinned up on the wall
                               E5     F5
I stood there to see where I?d fall

C5                                          G5
  She was the match that would strike up a light
                                D5
And the day that said hi to the night
                       F5
And she was bowling me down
                 C5
And I was praying
                              G5
As I struggled to stand on my feet
                                    D5
I walked tall with her there on the street
                      F5
But as the earth spun around
A(no3) Bb5 (no3) G(no3) x2 (as intro)
Hope was fading

C5                                      G5
  In our rooms there are thoughts that divide
                                 D5
All those feelings that harbored inside
                 F5                         C5
Am I sinking too deep with what I?m saying
                                    G5
All the words they got caught in my head
                              D5
Had no order in how they were said
               F5                   C5
Am I really a creep, hope is fading
