"Balance Beam"
Nice little song off of Consent to Treatment.
It's pretty simple so I'm pretty sure this is right.
Standard tuning

Intro: G D2 C Em D (x2)
I haven't been quite the [G]same.
[D2]So sure the s[C]tory of my [Em]life will never change.[D]
But in a bright [G]eyed way.
[D2]Rinsed out the [C]soap in my eyes
and wrote a [Em]song that I'm about to sing.[D]
Cause it's a[G]bout a girl [D2] [C]that I [Em]hardley even know.[D]
So this is [G]not another love song. [D2] [C]
Just a l[Em]ist of thing that I should know
[D]and everyone should know.
Chorus
[G5](One) You got to take it kind of slowly
[C5](Two) You got to hurry up and make your move.
[G5](Three) You got to tell her that she's pretty.[D5] [C5]
[G5](Four) You got to be the perfect gentleman
[C5]You shake the wall you got to make it bend.
[G5]You got to show her that [D5]she's the balance beam
and I keep falling all around her fairy tale.
(Repeat)
We took a walk in the rain
I suggested, she confessed there's a park nearby
to cast that shame.
Stay cool but I'm getting like a school boy.
You got to handle with care this is not a toy.
And gradually we touched.
Although our close were wet we sat and smiled
I never thought I'd smiled so much
The first kiss always says the most.
