[Verse 1]
A
You told me to skip school
D
To go with you to the movies
A
You knew you were uncool
D
But you thought you could fool me
A F#m
They play oldies in the afternoon
E D
For the elderly and me and you
A F#m
Fred and Ginger, black and white
E D
I watch you watch "It's a Wonderful Life"
[Instrumental 1]
A D A F#m D
[Verse 2]
A
You called me "cerebral"
D
I didn't know what you meant
F#m E
But now I do, would it have killed you
D
To call me pretty instead?
A F#m
I'm in a second story window
E D
And you're yelling at me, "Stella!"
A F#m
And I'm laughing 'cause you think you're Brando
E
But you'll never come close
[Chorus]
A E
All I need for you to admit
F#m D
Is that you never knew me like you thought you did
A E
You never knew me like you thought you did
Bm D
Like you thought you did
[Instrumental 2]
A F#m D Bm
A F#m D Bm
[Verse 3]
A
You say, "Here's lookin' at you, kid"
D
Thinking I wouldn't understand the reference
F#m
You admit you think we're fated
E
I'll be lucky if I'm your third wife
A
That's only something you would say in the car
D
We've been breathing the same air for too long
F#m
If the snow wasn't coming down so hard
E A
I would open the door and walk home, it's only a couple miles
F#m E
What could go wrong if I hitch a ride with a guy in a pickup
D E
Who doesn't know left from right from wrong?
[Chorus]
A E
All I need for you to admit
F#m D
Is that you never knew me like you thought you did
A E
You never knew me like you thought you did
Bm D
Like you thought you did
A E
All I need for you to admit
F#m D
Is that you never knew me like you thought you did
A E
You never knew me like you thought you did
Bm D
Like you thought you did
Bm D
