Strum
D-DU-UDU
I've  had a lot of girls in  my life
They  never meant that much to me
A  good time was always had  by all
But  those ggod times, they were fleeting  memories
I  used to lie to them and then I'd  kiss them
 But I kept  them an arm's length away
Well  hey man now you  know me
 And look how silly  I been acting today
This  time I really think  I'm in love, I'm in love
 This time I think I'm really  in love
This  time I really think  I'm in love, I'm in love
 This time I think I'm really  in love
 Melody: (same chords as chorus)
I  used to roll down the window
And  let that tape deck blow
And  look at the honey I was holding  that night
 I'd say, "Hey  girl you're the one"
 And then I'd laugh  when I'd take her home
You  got your arms around my shoulders
 You got my soul  confused with my heart
You  were too smart to believe all  those tired lines
 And I was  too dumb to know what had started
This  time I really think  I'm in love, I'm in love
 This time I think I'm really  in love
This  time I really think  I'm in love, I'm in love
 This time I think I'm really  in love
I  hope you don't lose that innocent laughter
I  hope time doesn't take that away
 /The End
