[Verse 1]
G
You told me to skip school,
C
To go with you to the movies
G
You knew you were uncool
C
But you thought you could fool me
G Em D
They play oldies in the afternoon for the elderly
C
And me and you
G Em D
Fred and Ginger, black and white. I watch you watch
C
It's a wonderful life
[Instrumental]
G C

[Verse 2]
G
You called me cerebral,
C
I didn't know what you meant
Em
But now I do
D C
Would it have killed you to call me pretty instead?
G Em D C
I'm in a second story window and you're yelling at me "Stella!"
G Em
And I'm laughing cause you think you're Brando
D
But you'll never come close
[Chorus]
G D
All I need for you to admit
Em C
Is that you never knew me like you thought you did
G D
You never knew me like you thought you did
C
Like you thought you did
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
G
You say, "Here's lookin' at you kid,"
Cadd9
Thinking I wouldn't understand the reference
Em
You admit, you think you're fated
D
I'll be lucky if I'm were your third wife
G
..That's only something you would say in the car
Cadd9
We've been breathing the same air for too long
Em
If the snow wasn't coming down so hard,
D
I would open the door and walk home,
It's only a couple miles.
G Em
.....What could go wrong
D
If I hitch a ride with a guy in a pickup
Cadd9 D
Who doesn't know left from right from wrong?..
[Chorus]
G D
All I need for you to admit
Em C
Is that you never knew me like you thought you did
G D
You never knew me like you thought you did..
Am Cadd9
Like you thought you did......
G D
All I need for you to admit
Em Cadd9
Is that you never knew me like you thought you did
G D
You never knew me like you thought you did
Am Cadd9
Like you thought you did.......
[Outro]
Am C
