[Verse 1]
Bm
Met a girl with a smile that I liked
F#m
And her name was Kelly
A
Golden hair and her eyes are that kind
Em
Make you feel like heaven
Bm
Spent the night ‘tween her thighs
F#m
Caught a vibe and I got too zealous
A
Now she’s free like a bird
Em
And I’m caught in a world of feelings, no

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm
Guess you warned me that night
F#m
That you weren’t ready
A
But then you take off your clothes, girl
Em
You do a 180

[Chorus]
Bm
Oh, Kelly
F#m
What you doing?
A
Please stop playing with my heart
Em
Before you tear it right apart
Bm
Oh, Kelly
F#m
Know you’re going through it
A
But won’t you tell me to come over?
Em
Let you cry right on my shoulder
Oh, Kelly

[Verse 2]
Bm
Wake up late every day
F#m
Have it made in the shade all summer
A
You and me, under trees
Em
With some drinks, all over each other
Bm
Grab the car, hit the bar
F#m
End the night under stars and covers, oh
A
Can’t you see what I see?
Em
You and I could be more than lovers

Giving me hell
F#m
You’re really putting me through it

Look back one day

And say that I dodged a bullet
Giving me hell
You’re really putting me through it
Look back one day
And say that I dodged a bullet
