Intro: C   G  F (x4) 
 
C 
First it's baseball, arcades in the mall  
C                                  G             C 
Skipping out of the study hall to hang with the guys 
C 
Then its fast cars, rock 'n' roll guitars  
C                                G           C  
Lightin' up behind the barn and not knowing why  

C                 G        F 
But his life is about to change  
C                G        F 
He's never gonna be the same  
C                         F 
And he'll be living in a different world     
G                   
When boy meets girl 
 
 
C  G F (x2) 
 
C                       
One smile one look he's nearly on the hook 
C                               G       C 
Got it bad and feeling good all over inside  
C 
He ain't got a clue what he's going through  
C                  G             C 
But he's going to just give him time 
 
 
CHORUS 
 
 
C                      F       C  
He never polished his boots before 
G                    F 
Never thought about what he wore 
C                    F          G  Am  
Never knew he could feel like that 
            G             
Now there ain't no way he can ever go back 
 
 
Instrumental: C  G F (x2)  C  F  G 
 
 
CHORUS (x2) 
 
 
C  G F (x3)  C   (as she's saying "when boy meets girl")
