Intro (D - G - A) 

Verse: 

A           D            G     A 
 The light shines in her eyes 
       D          G     A 
 But she doesn't see it  
         D              G     A 
 And the love that she wants 
        D           G      A 
 Could never come near her.... 

Pre-Chorus 

A            C   D 
 Well she's so sexy  
           G   A 
 And she's so sad 
            C   D 
 And she's gonna be  
            G  A 
 That way forever... 


A                      E 
 Well she works at a market 
          F#m 
 Bagging groceries 
          D 
 And she hates that she has to be nice...  



Listen and repeat as needed.
