F - C - Em/G 
 
verse 1: 
F                               C 
  I threw a wish in the well,    Don't ask me, I'll never tell 
F                           C              Em/G    
I looked to you as it fell, and now you're in my way 
F                           C 
I trade my soul for a wish, pennies and dimes for a kiss 
F                          C              Em/G    
I wasn't looking for this, but now you're in my way 
 
Pre-Chorus 
F                         C 
  Your stare was holdin', Ripped jeans, skin was showin' 
F                           C                     Em/G      
Hot night, wind was blowin' Where you think you're going, baby?

  Hey, I just met you,     and this is crazy,

  but here's my number,    so call me, maybe? 
 
verse 2: 
F                                   C 
You took your time with the call,   I took no time with the fall 
F                             C                 Em/G    
You gave me nothing at all,   but still, you're in my way 
F                             C  
I beg, and borrow and steal   Have foresight and it's real 
F                              C        Em/G     
I didn't know I would feel it, but it's in my way
