[Verse 1]
Her name is
E
Stephanie
She lives about
a thousand
      G#m
miles away from me
It took about a
second to
F#m
smile, a thousand
          B
freckles
          E
To set me free
          E
Oh how cliché
A stranger’s city,
             G#m
random party, rainy
Saturday
I was downing
drinks to
          F#m    B
drown the sorrow
                 E
Just to run away

[Pre-Chorus]
And then a
A
lightning
 strike
     Am
just fills the
place
  E
A reflection of a
familiar face
 F#m
I only saw
before with
        B
my eyes closed
  A
I guess I knew
right
Am
from the start
       E
It was either a
stroke or a racing
 heart
F#m
That I just met my
         B
missing part


[Verse 2]
Her name is
E
Stephanie
I couldn’t get
 enough
 of her, she
G#m
couldn’t get
enough of me
But in the back
room of the
C#7      F#m
 pub her friend was
            B
throwing up
                 E
She had to leave
            E
The morning came
I texted her,
she texted
       G#m
back a photo of
 a plane
I’m downing drinks
 to
C#7    F#m      B
 drown tomorrow
And live in
        E
yesterday

strike just fills
the place
  E
A reflection of a

F#m
I only saw before
             B

      D
And I guess I knew

       A
It was either a

or a racing heart
F#m
I just met my
         B
missing part

[Chorus]
E
Love ain’t real for
 people like me
F#m
And love ain’t real
for people like me
A
Happiness ain’t real
 for people like me
B
Stephanie
E
No, love ain’t real
 for people like me
F#m
No, love ain’t real
for people like me
A
Happiness ain’t real
 for people like me

Stephanie Oh
E
Oh, happiness ain’t
 real for people
like me
F#m
And love ain’t real

people like me
               E
Oh, Stephanie.
