Full Song

Verse 1

G C

Kilby girl, you’re alive in my head

D G

Rent free, everyday

G C

I saw you at theshow the other night

D G

You were standing with yourfriends

G C

You were wearing thatshirt I really like

D G

With the stripes goingdown

G C

And I thought youlooked at me

D G

But I’m never really sure

Chorus

C G

And I don’t know what I should do

D G

I think I might have fallen for a Kilby girl

C G

I don’t know what I should do

D G

I think I might have fallen for a Kilby girl

Verse 2

G C

Kilby girl, Iheard you play guitar

D G

In your bedroom late at night

G C

I was walkinghome from work

D G

And your light was the only one on

G C

You were singingsomething soft and low

D G

I couldn’t make out all the words

G C

But I stood there for awhile

D G

Just listening to your song

Chorus

C G

And I don’t know what I should do

D G

I think I might have fallen for a Kilby girl

C G

I don’t know what I should do

D G

I think I might have fallen for a Kilby girl

Bridge

Em

And I know that you don’t know me

C G

And I’m just a face in the crowd

Em C

But I’d learn every word to your songs

G D

If you’d sing them a little bit loud

Verse 3

G C

Kilby girl, Isaw you at the coffee shop

D G

You were reading a book I like

G C

I almost walked right up

D G

And said something, but I lost my nerve

G C

So I just ordered my drink

D G

And pretended to look at my phone

G C

And I wrote this stupid song

D G

Instead of just saying “Hello”

Chorus

C G

And I don’t know what I should do

D G

I think I might have fallen for a Kilby girl

C G

I don’t know what I should do

D G

I think I might have fallen for a Kilby girl
