[intro]
C C F G C C F G
I wanna be your girlfriend, I wanna be your new love
C C F G C C G F
I wanna be the one that you can`t get enough of
C C F G C C F G
I wanna be your girlfriend, nobody else`s but yours
Am Em F G C C G F
I wanna be the one who you`ll do anything for
C C G F C C G F
Never thought I`d ever wind up in a daze like this
C C G F C C G F
Never thought I`d ever find myself wondering how you kiss
G G C C D D G G
I see you nearly every day, and everyday I lose my nerve
G G F C D D G G
That I built up the night before, rehearsing every single word
C C F G C C F G
I wanna be your girlfriend, I wanna be your new love
C C F G C C G F
I wanna be the one that you can`t get enough of
C C F G C C F G
[instrumental]
C C G F C C G F
You used to be just this guy I knew from that same old scene
C C G F C C G C
For all the time that I`ve known you, just now I`m noticing
G G C C D D G G
That everything there is to feel, feels worse than any teenage crush
G G F C D D G G
And all the times that I`ve been near you, now I can`t get near enough
C C F G C C F G
Oh, I wanna be your girlfriend, nobody else`s but yours
Am Em F G C C G F
I wanna be the one who you`ll do anything for
F (2 measures) E7(b9)/G (2 measures)
I just keep on hoping that you`re gonna see
C/G (2 measures) D7/F (2 measures)
If I could notice you then you could notice me
F F/E F/D F/C G/B G/A G G
Then I`d be more to you, ohhhhh, I just wanna be....
