Verse:
        Bm          G
In the back of the room
         A               Db
It was there that I saw you
      Gbm            B
In a shirt that you wore
         Em7            A7
Knowing I'd be in the store
 Gb       Bm
Then you left, down the stairs
  G     A              Db7
Follow you I wouldn't dare
     Gbm        B7
I accepted my fate
           Bm             E7   A      A7
That I'd never see your face again, again
 
Chorus:
      D       Em       A               Gb      Bm
Oh bookstore girl, I wonder what your name is
                  E     A                 A7
You know you're famous in my group of friends
     D        Em      A             Gb        Bm
Oh bookstore girl, I feel a sudden urge to
               E          A              A7
Purchase the book you shelved the other day
 
Post-chorus:
         D    Em    A    A7
Bookstore girl
         D    Em    A    Gb
Bookstore girl
 
Verse:
       Bm
Going back, just to see
          G
If still in the store you'd be
         Gbm       B               G    A      Gb
Reading only the books that you'd recommend to me
         Bm        Em            A7
Knowing more than just your name
            Abm          Gbm
It wouldn't be the same
            B      Bm
Remaining fantasy
               E        A       A7
That's more romantic to me (to me)
 
Chorus:
     D        Em       A               Gb     Bm
Oh bookstore girl, I wonder what your name is
               E       A              A7
You see, the shame is, I might never know
       D     Em        A               Gb     Bm
I'll always have the Adler, Stein and Nelson
            E       A               A7
Authors I fell in love with when I met
 
Post-chorus:
         D    Em    A    A7
Bookstore girl
         D    Em    A    Gb
Bookstore girl
 

Dbm          Gb
I asked you foolishly
   Bm              Gbm
If you work 'til 3
        D            E
On a Sunday afternoon
              G       Gm       D
Bookstore girl, I'll see you soon
 

    E
(oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-yeah)
              G      Gm           Gbm  Em   D
Bookstore girl, I'll see you soon
