Am
She walks down the hall with her head down low G
Scared to meet his eyes F
Even when she hears his voice G
She’s swarmed with butterflies

Its impossible Dm
To get you off my mind Am
I think about a hundred thoughts G
And you are 99

I’ve understood Dm
That you will never be mine Am
And thats fine G
Im just breaking inside
