verse 1: 

D                             A 
People always told me that it hurts to be in love  
        D                     A 
There's nothing we can do but pray to God above  
     G                           A 
I've heard a lot of stories that all end sad  
    A                              D 
But nothing that I've heard sounds quite this bad  
     G      A                 D 
It's hard enough when love is unrequited  
    G           A           D 
But what do you do when her boyfriend's dead  


    G       A              D 
She was the first girl who ever made me fall  
       G                A 
I just took too long to ask her  
       D             Bm 
To the freaking Yule Ball  
G                  A 
Hair like silk and eyes aglow  
        D                       Bm 
And she looked so pretty in her schoolgirl robes  
    G              A 
And skin like porcelain  
                       D 
But she's a dead boy's girlfriend  
    A                  D 
Oh, she's a dead boy's girlfriend  

verse 2: 

  D                            A 
I gulped down my Gillyweed and jumped into the lake  
    D                              A 
Not knowing who the masters of the tournament would take  
  G                            A 
I dodged the merpeople and the Grindylow  
        A                         D 
And saw three pretty girls there, floating in a row  
           G            A               D 
But it was freaking Ron Weasley who was waiting for me  
G           A                D 
She was the prize for Cedric Diggory  


    G       A              D 
She was the first girl who ever made me fall  
       G                A 
I just took too long to ask her  
       D             Bm 
To the freaking Yule Ball  
G                  A 
Hair like silk and eyes aglow  
        D                       Bm 
And she looked so pretty in her schoolgirl robes  
    G              A 
And skin like porcelain  
                       D 
But she's a dead boy's girlfriend  
    A                  D 
Oh, she's a dead boy's girlfriend  

Bridge: 

   G            A      Bm 
On that fateful night, Cedric and I  
   G             A           Bm 
We finished that maze at the very same time  
   G                  A         Bm 
We grabbed that cup together to share the glory  
G               A              Bm                  A 
I thought maybe he could share something else with me  
      G             A 
But a minute later, he was dead  
              G                   A 
And you could never wanna be with me instead  
          G                   A 
You could never wanna be with me instead  
G                   A 
Never wanna be with me instead  


    G        A              D 
You were the first girl who ever made me fall  
       G                A 
I just took too long to ask you  
       D             Bm 
To the freaking Yule Ball  
G                  A 
Hair like silk and eyes aglow  
        D                        Bm 
And you looked so pretty in your schoolgirl robes  
    G              A 
And skin like porcelain  
                       D 
But she's a dead boy's girlfriend  
    A                  D 
Oh, she's a dead boy's girlfriend  

verse 3: 

D                       A 
Now it seems that all I make you do is cry  
D                        A 
I can never snog you and it's no secret why  
G                                A 
He's still there between us even though he's gone  
A                      D 
Cheating on a dead guy is so very wrong  
       G        A      D 
You'll probably have a very nice life  
           G                A    D 
But you'll probably have to be a boring muggle's wife  


    G        A              D 
You were the first girl who ever made me fall  
       G                A 
I just took too long to ask you  
       D             Bm 
To the freaking Yule Ball  
G                  A 
Hair like silk and eyes aglow  
        D                        Bm 
And you looked so pretty in your schoolgirl robes  
    G              A 
And skin like porcelain  
                       D 
But she's a dead boy's girlfriend  
    A                  D 
Oh, she's a dead boy's girlfriend  
      A                  D 
Yeah, she's a dead boy's girlfriend
