"Deer In the Headlights"
By Owl City
Off of All Things Bright and Beautiful
Universal Republic
2011
(Adam Young rocks!)
======================================
Hey there! I absolutely love this song, so I figured out of nowhere that I'd tab it out
(Kinda impulsive, I know). Now, there may be
some flaws (especially on lead. :O)--and I'd really appreciate it if you'd point them
out--but after a lot of ear/brainwork, here it is!
And I think it's at least 95% AWESOME, if not more. And it's pretty easy to play, too.
Ennnnjoy.

Guitar 1: Same as Intro
Guitar 2:
D5 G5
Met a girl in the parking lot
B5 A5
And all I did was say hello
D5 G5
Her pepper spray made it rather hard
B5 A5
For me to walk her home
B5 A5
But I guess that's the way it goes
--Chorus--
D5 A5
Tell me again was it love at first sight
B5 G5
When I walked by and you caught my eye
D5 A5
Didn't you know love could shine this bright
G5 B5 G5 A5
Well smile because you're the deer in the headlights

--Verse 2--
D5 G5
Met a girl with a graceful charm
B5 A5
But when beauty met the beast he froze
D5 G5
Got the sense I was not her type
B5 A5
By the black eye and bloody nose
B5 A5
But I guess that's the way it goes
D5 A5
Tell me again was it love at first sight
B5 G5
When I walked by and you caught my eye
D5 A5
Didn't you know love could shine this bright
G5 B5 G5 A5
Well smile because you're the deer in the headlights

Rythm Guitar:
E5 G5
It's suffocating to say
B5 G5
But the female mystique takes my breath away
E5 G5
So give me a smile or give me a sneer
B5 G5 A5
Cause I'm trying to guess here
D5 A5
Tell me again was it love at first sight
B5 G5
When I walked by and you caught my eye
D5 A5
Didn't you know love could shine this bright
E5 A5
I'm sorry I ever tried (Deer in the headlights)
D5 A5
Tell me again was it love at first sight
B5 G5
When I walked by and you caught my eye
D5 A5
Didn't you know love could shine this bright
G5 B5 G5 A5
If life was a game, you would never play nice
G5 B5 G5 A5
If love was a beam, you'd be blind in both eyes
G5 B5
Put your sunglasses on
G5 A5
Cause you're the deer in the headlights
