[Intro]
Dm C Bb

[Verse 1]
Dm C
She does a dirty dance
Bb
To a song about a bad romance
Dm C Bb
Meet a damaged girl, meet a damaged guy
Dm C Bb
He’s a local star, stealing glares of her across the bar
Dm C Bb
See a damaged girl, see a damaged guy

[Pre-Chorus]
Gm
I can’t take this panicked feeling
Bb
The way you look at me’s a knife
G
I can’t take this panicked feeling
I can’t take this panicked feeling

[Chorus]
Bb G
I wish that we could just be lovers
F
We could be lovers
A
Whoa, oh
Bb G
I wish that we could just be lovers
F
We could be lovers
A
Whoa, oh, oh

[Interlude]
Dm C Bb

[Verse 2]
Dm C
They were neighbours then
Bb
Back then, they weren’t even friends
Dm C Bb
Watch a damaged girl, watch a damaged guy
Dm C Bb
Fearing stories when a couple crashed, dangerous affair
Dm C Bb
Watching them tear up, the DJ cries, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Gm
I can’t take this panicked feeling
Bb
The way you look at me’s a knife
G
I can’t take this panicked feeling
I can’t take this panicked feeling

[Chorus]
Bb G
I wish that we could just be lovers
F
We could be lovers
A
Whoa, oh
Bb G
I wish that we could just be lovers
F
We could be lovers
A
Whoa, oh, oh

[Interlude]
Dm C Bb
(x2)

[Chorus]
Bb G
I wish that we could just be lovers
F
We could be lovers
A
Whoa, oh
Bb G
I wish that we could just be lovers
F
We could be lovers
A
Whoa, oh, oh

[Outro]
