(Play intro) 
You were all done up, 
But it wasn't for me. 
You were up at the front 
To tap on your feet. 
I was back at the bar. 
You had your eyes on the stage. 
You had an "X" on your hand 
To tell them your age. 
 
                C             Am 
I didn't put my money on it. 
          C 
But I was 
                         Dadd9 
Hoping that you would be here. 
                            C             Am 
If I was something that you ever wanted, 
             C    
Then I'm all ears. 
        Dadd9 
I'm all ears. 
 
C                  Em    Am 
You made a wish at 11:11. 
G                   D    
I held your hips at 12:34. 
C                     Em           Am 
There was a kiss just waiting to happen. 
G                 Bm 
A cab was calling outside the door. 
 
C   Em   Am  G 
Oh,  
                D 
I knew from the beginning. 
C   Em   Am  G 
Oh,  
                    Bm 
it was you from the beginning. 
 
(Play intro) 
Excuse the disguise, 
Or the ones before. 
I've been convincing myself 
There could be something more. 
 
            Em 
I said, "If you go home 
        D          
And you get on the phone, 
        C                           G 
And you tell your girlfriends about me, 
Em 
I'll go home 
         D    
And I'll sleep on my own, 
    C                     Dadd9 
And dream of a girl named Lonnie." 
 
                             C             Am 
Those others couldn't hold a candle to ya, 
            C 
But you were  
               Dadd9 
glowing in the dark. 
                   C                  Am 
I was nervous just standing with you. 
         C                     Dadd9 
You were glowing in the dark. 
 
C                  Em    Am 
You made a wish at 11:11. 
G                   D    
I held your hips at 12:34. 
C                     Em           Am 
There was a kiss just waiting to happen. 
G                 Bm 
A cab was calling outside the door. 
 
C   Em   Am  G 
Oh,  
                D 
I knew from the beginning. 
C   Em   Am  G 
Oh,  
                    Bm 
it was you from the beginning. 
 
C                    G 
And you weren't even trying -- 
     C                 
Your dirty blonde hair 
Em         G 
Had me going wild. 
C                     G                    
You were a little bit shy then. 
Dm                 Am 
There's no denying something so true. 
 
C                  Em    Am 
You made a wish at 11:11. 
G                   D    
I held your hips at 12:34. 
C                     Em           Am 
There was a kiss just waiting to happen. 
G                 Bm 
A cab was calling outside the door. 
 
C   Em   Am  G 
Oh,  
                D 
I knew from the beginning. 
C   Em   Am  G 
Oh,  
                    Bm 
it was you from the beginning, 
 
                    C             G 
it was you from the beginning.
