["I Wanna Be With You Tonight"]

[Intro - A with a few quick changes to D]

[Verse]
A        D         A              D        A
  I just know your name but still just the same
  D                                E
I see you in my dreams at night, I see you in my food when I eat
A            D      A                 D      A
  I see your pretty mug, I think that I'm in love
D                                 E
If you kissed me I would blow up, if I kissed you would you throw up?
D   E      A          E     D                    E
  I try to say "Don't walk away from me in my condition"

[Verse]
I sit and look at you and think of what to do
After school when you go home and leave me standing all alone here
And I try to speak, my mouth's dry, I'm weak
I'm sure you've got a boyfriend and he's probably a lawyer or something
I try to say "Don't walk away from me in my condition" cause

[Chorus]
D         A             E
  I wanna be with you tonight
D         A             E
  I wanna be with you tonight
D         A             E       D  A  E
  I wanna be with you tonight

[Bridge]
F#              D                        A                 E
   I can't look to the other side of the room and you're ignoring me
F#                         D                          A
   You must think that I'm gay because I can't find a way to ask you out
        E
But I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying

[Key change]

[Verse]
B           E       B                E       B
  I sit and look at you and think of what to do
E                                 F#
After school when you go home and leave me standing all alone here
B       E      B                 E        B
  And I try to speak, my mouth's dry, I'm weak
    E                                    F#
I'm sure you've got a boyfriend and he's probably a lawyer or something
E   F#     B          F#    E                    F#
  I try to say "Don't walk away from me in my condition" cause

[Chorus]
E         B             F#
  I wanna be with you tonight
E         B             F#
  I wanna be with you tonight
E         B             F#
  I wanna be with you tonight
E         B             F#      B
  I wanna be with you tonight
