[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
How [D]can I ex[A]plain how I feel
I'm like a little kid running
at her [G]heel[D]
She's [C]giving me looks like she
[G]thinks I'm a snappy [D]dresser
How can I [A]tell what I should [G]plan[D]
[A]I've never kissed a girl or
held her [G]hand[D]
She's [C]waiting for me to move,
[G]I've got to imp[D]ress her

[Verse 2]
[A]I play gui[D]tar in a main[G]stream band
[D]I've got[A] three red jac[D]kets
and a [G]Fender [A]jazz
[D]I've got [A]Charlie [D]Parker's [G]autograph
[A]The girl I m[D]oved
with's turned [G]up on grass
[D]

[Verse 3]
She moved [A]her seat next to [G]mine[A]
But I'm just playing for [D]time
I [C]ain't got the guts to [G]let
her see [D]the real me
My confidence [A]eroded away
Over hearing what children [D]say
So [C]I'm trying to make myself
[G]seem more appealing[D]

[Verse 4]
I [A]know [D]your man is in to
[G]playing jazz [D]bass
[A]I tried that my[D]self but I
[G]need more [D]space
Like [A]to soar [D]and fly like [G]the big Birdman
[D]Whe[A]n I met him last wee[D]k
[G]he shook my [D]hand

[Verse 5]
[D]
[A]Every lie I tell weaves another spell,
another road that ends up blind
The Bird that [B]shook my hand was a wanted man,

[Verse 6]
I think you knew that all the time
[B]
[E]I came so close to [B]having you for me
But I lost you in [A]the fantasy[E]
I preten[D]ded to myself that
[A]you were mine [E]already
You waited but [B]deep in your eyes
You were watching me so
worldly [A]wise[E]
Then [D]you changed the subject and
[A]talked about going steady
[E]

[Verse 7]
I've got [B]two hundred
[E]records and a [A]big hi- fi
[E]I sit and l[B]isten t[E]o Ella a[A]nd Basie all n[E]ight
I played [B]modern [E]jazz of [A]every vari[E]ety
You [B]could come and [E]listen
but [A]we close to[E]night
