C 
She told me that she loved me by the water fountain 
    Am 
She told me that she loved me and she didn't love him 
    G 
And that was really lovely cause it was innocent 
    D 
But now she's got a cup with something else in it 
     C 
It's getting kind of blurry at a quarter past ten 
    Am 
And he was in a hurry to be touching her skin 
      G 
She's feeling kind of dirty when she's dancing with him 
   D 
Forgetting what she told me by the water fountain 

         C 
Now he's grabbing her hips and pulling her in 
Am 
Kissing her lips and whispering in her 
G 
Ear and she knows that she shouldn't listen 
    D 
And that she should be with me by the water fountain 

    C 
She couldn't be at home in the nighttime because 
  Am 
It made her feel alone but at that time she was 
    G 
Too young 
          D 
I was too young 
  C 
I should have built a home with a fountain for us 
    Am 
The moment that she told me that she was in love 
    G 
Too young 
          D 
I was too young 
    C 
Too young 
    Am 
Too young 
    G 
Too young 
D 
Young 

    C 
And if she ever goes back to the water fountain 
    Am 
The handle will be broken and the rust set in 
       G 
But my hand it will be open and I'll try to fix it 
   D 
My heart it will be open and I'll try to give it 

         C 
Now I'm grabbing her hips and pulling her in 
Am 
Kissing her lips and whispering in her 
G 
Ear and I know that it's only a wish 
    D 
And that we're not standing by the water fountain 
    C 
Too young 
    Am 
Too young 
    G 
Too young 
D 
Young 

    C 
She couldn't be at home in the nighttime because 
  Am 
It made her feel alone but at that time she was 
    G 
Too young 
          D 
I was too young 
  C 
I should have built a home with a fountain for us 
    Am 
The moment that she told me that she was in love 
    G 
Too young 
          D 
I was too young 
    C 
Too young 
    Am 
Too young 
    G 
Too young 
D 
Young 
  C 
I should have built a home with a fountain for us 
    Am 
The moment that she told me that she was in love 
    G 
Too young 
          D 
I was too young
