I’m in [E]trouble, I’m an addict, I’m addicted to this girl, she’s got my [A]heart tied in a knot
And my stomach in a whirl, but even [E]worse I can’t stop calling her
She’s all I want and more, I mean [A]damn, whats not to [B]adore?


I’ve been [E]playing to much gee-tar, I’ve been listening to jazz
I [A]called so many times I think she’s going mad
And that [E]cellular-er will be the death of us, I [A]swear, I [B]swear


And oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, [A]ooh ooh, I’m running my mouth just like I [E]got her
But I surely [A]don’t, [B]because she’s so, [A]rock and roll
And out of my league, is she out of my [A]league? Let’s hope [B]not


I’m in [E]trouble, I’m so cliché, see that word just wears me out
Makes me [A]feel like just another boy, to laugh and joke about
But [E]even worse, I can’t stop calling her, I love to hear that voice
And [A]honestly, I’m left with no [B]choice


I’ve been [E]playing too much guitar, I’ve been listening to jazz
I [A]called so many times, I swear she’s going mad
And that [E]cellular will be the death of us, I [A]swear, I [B]swear


And [E]oh, o-oh, o oh, o ooh, [A]ooo, I’m running my mouth just like I [E]got her
But I surely [A]don’t, [B]because she’s so, [A]rock and roll
And out of my [E]league, is she out [A]of my league? Let’s [B]hope not
And [E]oh, o-oh, o oh, o ooh, [A]ooo, ooo ooo oo o
