Ab 
I stick with real things 
Ab 
Usually facts and figures 
Ab 
When information's in its place 
                        Gm 
I minimize the guessing game 
Gm 
Guess what? (what?) 
                      F# 
I don't like guessing games 
F# 
Or when I feel things 
F# 
Before I know the feelings 
F# 
How am I supposed to operate 
                             Fm 
If I'm just tossed around by fate? 
Fm 
Like on an unexpected date? 
                       Ebm 
The stranger who might talk too fast 
          Ab 
Or ask me questions about myself 
               Db 
Before I've decided that 
              F# 
He can ask me questions about myself 
         Ebm 
He might sit too close 
            Ab 
Or call the waiter by his first name 
       Db 
Or eat Oreos 
            F# 
But eat the cookie before the cream? 
         Ebm 
But what scares me the most 
     F7 
what scares me the most 


[Verso 1]


          Bb 
Is what if when he sees me, what if he 
doesn't like it? 

What if he runs the other way and I 
     Eb 
can't hide from it? 
What happens then? 
  Bb 
If when he knows me, he's only 
disappointed? 

What if I give myself away, to only get 
   Eb 
it given back? 
           Db 
I couldn't live with that 
   F 
So, I'm just fine, inside my 
Gm 
shell-shaped mind 
     F     Eb             Dm Cm 
This way I get the best view 
    Ebm                Ab 
So, when he sees me, I want him to

(dawn, Dont You Think Your Being A Little, 
I Mean Maybe Just A Tad…) 

Ab 
I'm not defensive 
Ab 
I'm simply being cautious 
Ab 
I can't risk reckless dating 
Ab 
Due to my miscalculating 
Gm                               F# 
While a certain suitor stands in line 
I've seen in movies 
F# 
Most made for television 
F# 
You cannot be too careful 
                               Fm 
When it comes to sharing your life 
I could end up a miserable wife 

“sorry Girlsl 
                Ebm 
But He could be criminal, some sort of 
Ab 
psychopath 
who escaped from an institution, 
                     Db 
somewhere where they don't have girls 
             F# 
He could have masterminded some way to 
find me 
            Ebm 
He could be colorblind! 
      Ab 
How untrustworthy is that 
            Db 
He could be less than kind 
       F# 
Or even worse he could be very nice, 
    Ebm 
have lovely eyes 
    F#7                B 
And make me laugh, come out of hiding 
          F7 
What do I do with that? 


[Verso 3]


               Bb 
Oh, God What if when he sees me 
I like him and he knows it? 
What if he opens up a door 
            Eb 
And I can't close it? 
What happens then? 
   Bb 
If when he holds me 
My heart is set in motion 
I'm not prepared for that 
                       Eb 
I'm scared of breaking open 
But still I can't help from hoping 
   Gm7            Eb 
To find someone to talk to 
    F               Cm 
Who likes the way I am 
            Eb 
Someone who when he sees me 
         Bb    
Wants to again
