GEmDC
Remember that New Years Eve
DG
We were frightened by a firework?
GEmDCDG
You could not believe the fuss I made
GEmDC
I should have laughed it off
DG
I should have left it lying
GEmDCD
I did not receive much sympathy

GEmDC
Remember that we were poor
DG
Though so young as not to notice
GEmDCDG
We could ill-afford to paint the town
GEmDC
You had your father's charm
DG
And thus your mother's Volvo
GEmDCD
It wasn't long before you drove me home
Dadd12 (that is, play 5th fret on high E string)
It took until October
Cadd12 (that is, play 3rd fret on high E string)
To win you over

GEmDC
Remember that New Year's Eve
DG
We were frightened by a firework?
GEmDCDG
When I'd watch you leave, the fuss I made
GEmDC
I made myself calm down
DG
And I made myself a promise:
GEmDCD
I would not conceive of taking no for an answer
D/F#Cadd12
Though you kept me guessing and your distance
Em
Were it not for my persistence
BmG
We would never have been lovers
D/F#Cadd12
You kept your distance and me guessing
Em
Finally acquiescing
BmG
only after I'd discovered
D/F#
You kept the things I sent you
Cadd12
The lengths I went to
Great lengths...
