Verse:
BmG
In the back of the room
ADb
It was there that I saw you
GbmB
In a shirt that you wore
Em7A7
Knowing I'd be in the store
GbBm
Then you left, down the stairs
GADb7
Follow you I wouldn't dare
GbmB7
I accepted my fate
BmE7AA7
That I'd never see your face again, again
Chorus:
DEmAGbBm
Oh bookstore girl, I wonder what your name is
EAA7
You know you're famous in my group of friends
DEmAGbBm
Oh bookstore girl, I feel a sudden urge to
EAA7
Purchase the book you shelved the other day
Post-Chorus:
DEmAA7
Bookstore girl
DEmAGb
Bookstore girl
Verse:
Bm
Going back, just to see
G
If still in the store you'd be
GbmBGAGb
Reading only the books that you'd recommend to me
BmEmA7
Knowing more than just your name
AbmGbm
It wouldn't be the same
BBm
Remaining fantasy
EAA7
That's more romantic to me -to me-
Chorus:
DEmAGbBm
Oh bookstore girl, I wonder what your name is
EAA7
You see, the shame is, I might never know
DEmAGbBm
I'll always have the Adler, Stein and Nelson
EAA7
Authors I fell in love with when I met
Post-Chorus:
DEmAA7
Bookstore girl
DEmAGb
Bookstore girl
DbmGb
I asked you foolishly
BmGbm
If you work 'til 3
DE
On a Sunday afternoon
GGmD
Bookstore girl, I'll see you soon
E
-oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-yeah-
GGmGbmEmD
Bookstore girl, I'll see you soon
