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
