[Verse]
D
She
Was only seventeen
Oh, why are girls in songs always seventeen?
D
She
Was from a movie scene
And now she plays in my head all day

[Chorus]
G                    A
She called me up
D             Em
And let me in
G                            A
I couldn’t feel my legs
G                         A
She walked me back
D             Bm
Into her room
G
But just to see
A                            D
A 1980s horror film

[Verse]
D
I
Oh, I was so scared
She had the curtains down
So there was no glare
D
She pulled up a chair
And gave me the bed
And all these crazy things
Went through my head

[Chorus]
G                         A
It seems so long
D                         Em
I need someone
G                         A
I don’t know what to say

G                         A
She was sitting there
D                         Bm
I could touch her hair
G
But still we watched
A
A 1980s horror film
D
Jamie
Bm                                     A
I don’t know what to say to you
D
I feel
Bm             A                         Em
You’re always on my mind

G                                     D
And now that I know what I need
A                         Em                                     G
I’m taking the long way round in my mind
D
It’s not right
A                         Em                         G
I can’t help the way I feel anymore
D                                     A
And I need to ask you, Jamie
Em             G             D                         A
Oh, can it be that you feel this way, too?

G                         A
The lights were off
D
The mood was right
G                                     D
She came and laid with me

G                         A
I looked into her eyes
D
Tried to make her mine
G
But then she said
(one strum)
D
“I’m really not that into guys.”
D
