[Opening]
She [Am]stares at her ceiling once again, [G]with a hundred thoughts
[F]Maybe he knows who I am, [G]actually probably not
She walks [Am]down the hall with her head down low, [G]scared to meet his eyes
[F]Even when she hears his voice, she’s [G]swarmed with butterflies
[chorus]
It’s [C]impossible, to get you off my [Dm]mind
I think about a [Am]hundred thoughts, and you are [G]99
I’ve [C]understood, that you will never [Dm]be mine
And that’s [Am]fine, I’m just [G]breaking inside
[section 2]
He [Am]always walks the crowded halls, [G]and is blinded by this light
[F]A girl who keeps her head down low, [G]and never shows her eyes
[Am]He’s tried to talk to her, but there’s no [G]easy way
‘Cause every time he [F]raises his voice, she runs [G]away
[chorus]
Oh, it’s [C]impossible, to get you off my [Dm]mind
I think about a [Am]hundred thoughts, and you are [G]99
I’ve [C]understood, that you will never [Dm]be mine
And that’s [Am]fine, I’m just [G]breaking inside
[Closing]
And one [C]day, maybe she’ll [Dm]stay, and start to [Am]head over his [G]way
And one [C]day, she’ll [Dm]look into his eyes, and instead of [Am]breaking, she’ll call him [G]mine
One [C]day, he’ll grab her by the [Dm]waist, and [Am]force them to meet, face to [G]face
And one [C]day, he’ll look into her [Dm]eyes, and say that [Am]you’re my only [G]light
[chorus]
Oh, it’s [C]impossible, to get you off my [Dm]mind
I think about a [Am]hundred thoughts, and you are [G]99
I’ve [C]understood, that you will never [Dm]be mine
And that’s [Am]fine, I’m just [G]breaking inside
