When He Sees Me Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F][F]

[Verse 1]
[F]I stick with real things
Usually facts and figures
When information's in its place
I minimize the guessing [Em]game
Guess what?
I don't like guessing [Eb]games
Or when I feel things
Before I know the feelings
How am I supposed to operate
If I'm just tossed around [Dm]by fate?
Like on an unexpected date?

[Pre-chorus 1]
With a stranger who might [Cm]talk too fast
Or ask me [F]questions about myself
Before I've de[Bb]cided that
He can ask me [Eb]questions about myself
He might [Cm]sit too close
Or call the [F]waiter by his first name
Or eat [Bb]Oreos
But eat the [Eb]cookie before the cream?
But what [Cm]scares me the most
What [D]scares me the most

[Chorus 1]
Is what if [G]when he sees me,
what if he doesn't like it?
What if he runs the other
way and I can't [C]hide from it?
[C]What happens then?
If [G]when he knows me,
he's only disappointed
What if I give myself away,
to only get it [C]given back?
I couldn't live with that
So, [D]I'm just fine, inside my [Em]shell-shaped mind
This way I [C]get the best [Am]view
So, [Cm]when he sees me, I [F]want him to

[Verse 2]
[F]I'm not defensive
I'm simply being cautious
I can't risk reckless dating
Due to my miscalculating [Em]why
A certain suitor stands in [Eb]line
I've seen in movies
Most made for television
You cannot be too careful
When it comes to sharing your [Dm]life
I could end up a miserable wife

[Pre-chorus 2]
He could be [Cm]criminal,
some sort of [F]psychopath
Who escaped from an institution
Somewhere where they [Bb]don't have girls
He could have [Eb]masterminded
some way to find me
He could be [Cm]color blind
How un[F]trustworthy is that?
He could be [Bb]less than kind
Or even [Eb]worse he could be very nice,
have [Cm]lovely eyes
And make me laugh, come [Ab]out of hiding
What do I [D]do with that?
Oh, God

[Chorus 2]
What if [G]when he sees me
I like him and he knows it?
What if he opens up a door
And I can't [C]close it?
[Am]What happens then?
If [G]when he holds me
My heart is set in motion
I'm not prepared for that
I'm scared of breaking [C]open
[D]But still I c[C]an't help from hoping[D]
To [Em]find someone to [C]talk to
Who [D]likes the way [Am]I am
Someone who [Cm]when he sees me
Wants to [G]again[G]
[G][G]
