[Verse 1]
G                   Bm
Cast your mind back ten years,
       F                  E              E4  E
To the girl who's next to me in school,
Am          Ammaj7        Am7
If I put my hand upon her leg,
             Dsus2  D     D4  Dsus2  D
She'd hit me with a rule,
G               Bm
Though tomorrow won't be long,
            F               E
We're gonna have to play it cool,
C                        D
You get fasci - nat - ed by  her,
 ^        ^     ^    ^   ^   ^   ^   ^
C                 C/B      Am
She could set the place on fire
 
[Chorus]
G/F#  G                              Fmaj7
          Run and get the fire bri - gade,
                   G
Get the fire bri - gade,
        G         D        D      G
See the buildings start to really burn, oo!
        ^         ^        ^      ^
G                  Fmaj7                    G
Get the fire bri - gade, get the fire bri - gade,
       G            D      D         G
If you jump, you've got to wait your turn
       ^            ^      ^         ^

Friends all seem to laugh,
           F             E            E4  E
I fear I'm apt to make a compromise,
Am           Ammaj7
Try to rea - ssure myself,
   Am7                 Dsus2 D     D4   Dsus2  D
My head must need some ex  - cer - cise,
G                    Bm
Half past ten in the morning,
         F                E
She just took me by sur - prise,
C                          D
True, she set the place on fire,
^         ^       ^     ^  ^  ^  ^  ^

If you jump, you've got to wait your turn

    The lights, a - cross the street,

Throw a rainbow...      in her hair,

Notice that my eyes have been...
     F                 E         E4 E
...a misty place since Saturday?
Am               Ammaj7
Brings a feeling we might need... 
    Am7          Dsus2 D   D4  Dsus2 D
The fire engines an  - y - way,
G               Bm
