G C
I saw her walking down the street
G A
I saw her, good music on repeat
C Cminor G
And I thought this could be her.
G C
I said hi, her smile that filled the air
G A
She said “hey, come sit down over here”
C Cminor G
And I thought, this would go nowhere

(Chorus)

Because she's
C Cminor
a Mermaid in the sea, a sweet drop of lemon tea,
G A7
a constellation above, I'm a
C Cminor
Lonely wanderer, a mundane traveller,
G A7
searching for love.

C Cminor
And I can't stop, and she can't go
G B A7
The meaning is all worn out,
C
Cuz we're a pair not meant to be,
Cminor G
The angel and me.

I told her, “I don't know the words to say.”
She told me, "It's better off that way
It's real, it's rough, it's gold."

I asked her, “Did your hair get cut last night?”
she said “Kinda, it did put up a fight.
But I like it now how it is.

(chorus)
And she's a goddess of the moon, the starlight and the tune
of birds in the summer night,

I'm just a lonely girl, my stomach does a twirl
I can barely stand up right (just about to take flight),

And I can't stop, and she can't go,
This could be the last chance I get,

But we're a pair not meant to be,
The angel and me.



(Bridge!)
(G D)

And I got up to go, but she said, “hey wait,
G
aren’t you going to let me say bye?”
C
I replied to her, "no, I'm not worth your time,
G
So I don't even want you to try.
D
You’re too good for me, why can’t you see?”
A
And I could see the light dawn in her eyes.

Then she said,
C
“I’m just an ordinary girl,
Cminor
I’m not your shiny pearl,
G A
You’re taking this crush way too far.
C
(but) I’m not the one for you,
Cminor
please search for someone new,
G A
you’re perfect the way you are."

C Cminor
And I stood there, and she smiled wide,
G A
and said “I guess this is where we say bye.”
C Cminor
I guess now we both agree,
G A7
it’s easy now to see,
C Cminor
we’re a pair not meant to be,
Gmaj7
this girl and me.
