Remember that New Years Eve

We were frightened by a firework?

You could not believe the fuss I made
G Em D C
I should have laughed it off
D G
I should have left it lying
G Em D C D
I did not receive much sympathy

G Em D C
Remember that we were poor
D G
Though so young as not to notice
G Em D C D G
We could ill-afford to paint the town
G Em D C
You had your father's charm
D G
And thus your mother's Volvo
G Em D C D
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

G Em D C
Remember that New Year's Eve
D G
We were frightened by a firework?
G Em D C D G
When I'd watch you leave, the fuss I made
G Em D C
I made myself calm down
D G
And I made myself a promise:
G Em D C D
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
Bm G
We would never have been lovers
D/F# Cadd12
You kept your distance and me guessing
Em
Finally acquiescing
Bm G
only after I'd discovered
D/F#
You kept the things I sent you
Cadd12
The lengths I went to
Great lengths...
