Intro:
D
F#m  G  Bm  A  D x6
 
Verse 1:
G                 Bm
Met a girl in the parking lot
D                  A        F#m  G
And all I did was say hello
                          Bm
Her pepper spray made it rather hard
Em         G       A
For me to walk her home
         Em            Bm      A
But I guess that’s the way it goes
 
Chorus:
D                     A
Tell me again was it love at first sight
     Em                   G
When I walked by and you caught my eye
D                            A
Didn’t you know love could shine this bright
       G      Bm               G           A
Well smile because you’re the deer in the headlights
 
Interlude: F#m  G  Bm  A  D x4
 
Verse 2:
G                   Bm
Met a girl with a graceful charm
D                        A              F#m  G
But when beauty met the beast, he froze
             Bm
Got the sense I was not her type
    Em             G     A
By black eye and bloody nose
         Em            Bm      A
But I guess that’s the way it goes
 
Chorus
 
Bridge:
Bm         A
It’s suffocating to say
         Em                        G
But the female mystique takes my breath away
    D                   A
So give me a smile or give me a sneer
             G               A
‘Cause I’m trying to guess here
 
 
 
Chorus:
D                     A
Tell me again was it love at first sight
     Em                   G
When I walked by and you caught my eye
D                            A
Didn’t you know love could shine this bright
    Em                   A
I’m sorry I ever tried (deer in the headlights)
 
Chorus:
D                     A
Tell me again was it love at first sight
     Em                   G
When I walked by and you caught my eye
D                            A
Didn’t you know love could shine this bright
    G         Bm               G          A
If life was a game, you would never play nice
    G         Bm               G           A
If love was a beam, you’d be blind in both eyes
          G          Bm                 G           A
Put your sunglasses on ‘cause you’re a deer in the headlights
 
Ending:
F#m  G  Bm  A  D
F#m  G  Bm  A  D
(You’re the deer in the headlights)
F#m  G  Bm  A  D x5
F#m  G  Bm  A  D
(You’re the deer in the headlights)
 
End on D

Hey dudes and dudettes! This song came out yesterday and I thought it was super sick
(awesome)! It took a while and I had to listen super carefully to every part  (sometimes
every chord) separately! Some of it is probably wrong but it won't sound bad. I did my
best, and that's what counts... to some people! I can't wait for this album to come out! It's
gonna be their best stuff ever! Thanks!

ps. For the ending, just listen to it. I know I wasn't very clear. But that's the best
way to explain it!
