[Intro]
[Verse 1]
G
Barefoot on the sidewalk
C
Headphones in to let my mind walk
G D7
In my hands I’m carrying in my shoes
G
And I’m late to philosophy 203
C
Won’t McTaggart be so proud of me
G D7 G
And I don’t have any notes just a couple pictures that I drew
[Verse 2]
G
My hair looks like a bird’s nest
C
And according to my roommate I’m a little underdressed
G D7
With a cutoff t-shirt and a fanny-pack I got at the zoo
G
Cause it’s a little chilly for September 2nd
C
It’s like 45 degrees in the middle of the Midwest
G D7 G
And I’m really reconsidering removal of my socks and my shoes
[Verse 3]
G
Cause the wind is biting at my toes
C
And the chill is nipping at my nose
G D7
My shoulders feeling heavy cause my backpack straps are loose
G
But it all feels so good
C
When every little thing’s exactly how it should be
G D7 G
So it really made a difference when I narrowed down my vision to you
[Verse 4]
G
And you had on a denim jacket
C
And a crop top white t-shirt to match it
G
And your yoga pants are popping
D7
And your sneakers you rockin’ ’em too
G
And your hair was up in space buns
C
And you were killing with the makeup
G D7
And I was looking like a dumbass with my cutoff
G
And my hands full of shoes
[Verse 5]
G
And that’s about the time you looked up
C
And saw me in the empty space I took up
G D7
And now it’s feeling dumb cause you really caught me staring at you
G
And honestly I got a little nervous
C
I didn’t want you thinking I was doing it on purpose
G
My eyes wander when I’m thinking
D7 G
I don’t know I mean it’s just what they do
[Prechorus]
G C
Hey girl from the sidewalk I wrote this one for you
G D7
So if you hear it, know it’s my song if you remember like I do
G C
Hey girl from the sidewalk I wrote this one for you
G D7
If you hear it, know it’s my song if you remember like I do
[Chorus]
G
I wish I said something strong like “what’s up baby?”
C
Or something funny like “call me maybe”
G D7
Or something old fashioned like “Hello missus how do you do”?
G
Or something really stupid
C
Like I got a drive-by bow and arrow wound from cupid
G
Or a simple little “Hi”
D7 G
My jaw just wasn’t working for you
[Verse 6]
G
And you were about to walk past me
C
And you weren’t really doing anything to attract me
G D7
So I didn’t speak a word, I didn’t even know what to say
G
At this point like 30 seconds have past
C
That’s another 30 seconds tardy for class
G D7 G
But I’m not worried about anything except for figuring out your name
[Verse 7]
G
Now our shoulders brush past each other on the sidewalk
C
And I notice you’re shorter than how i thought
G D7
Which is good I guess cause I’m not really super tall at all anyway
G
So I look back to see if you look back
C
And you look back and our eyes made contact
G D7 G
And you smiled holy shit, what a perfectly symmetrical face
[Verse 8]
G
That moment felt like forever
C
It was only us and we alone were together
G D7
So believe me when I say I think the rest of campus melted away
G
Then you turned around and left me
C
And now I’m feeling sorta empty
G D7 G
Cause I woulda, shoulda, coulda figured out a little something to say
[Prechorus]
G C
Hey girl from the sidewalk I wrote this one for you
G D7
So if you hear it, know it’s my song if you remember like I do
G C
Hey girl from the sidewalk I wrote this one for you
G D7
If you hear it, know it’s my song if you remember like I do
[Chorus]
G
I wish I said something strong like “what’s up baby?”
C
Or something funny like “call me maybe”
G D7
Or something old fashioned like “Hello missus how do you do”?
G
Or something really stupid
C
Like I got a drive-by bow and arrow wound from cupid
G
Or a simple little “Hi”
D7 G
My jaw just wasn’t working for you
[Bridge]
Em C
In my life I haven’t had many regrets
G D7
But days go back with you inside my head
Em C
In my life I haven’t had many regrets
G D7
So many things I wish I could’ve said
[Chorus]
G
I wish I said something strong like “what’s up baby?”
C
Or something funny like “call me maybe”
G D7
Or something old fashioned like “Hello missus how do you do”?
G
Or something really stupid
C
Like I got a drive-by bow and arrow wound from cupid
G
Or a simple little “Hi”
D7 G
My jaw just wasn’t working for you
G
Or a simple little Hi
D7 G
My jaw just wasn’t working for you
G
Or a simple little Hi
D7 G
My jaw just wasn’t working for you
