You give your hand to me and then you say hello.
 7  7  -8  -8  7    7  -5  -6    7  -8  7   7
And I can hardly speak my heart is beating so.

though my heart aches with love  for you.
5   7   7   7  7  -7 -6    6   -6  6 
Afraid and shy I let my chance go by,
 6    -6    -6   -6   -6   -7   7  -8
the chance that you might love me too.

 6    6   -6   -6   6  6  4    5   6   -6   6  6
You give your hand to me and then you say goodbye.

I watch you walk away beside that lucky guy.
   7    7 -7 -6 6    6   5   -6   6    6    -5 
You'll never never know the one that loves you

so well you don't know me.
