Deer In The Headlights by Owl City
Deer In The Headlights
Intro:
D
F#m G Bm A D x6
Verse 1:
G Bm
Met a girl in the parking lot
D A F#m G
And all I did was say hello
Bm
Her pepper spray made it rather hard
Em G A
For me to walk her home
Em Bm A
But I guess that’s the way it goes
Chorus:
D A
Tell me again was it love at first sight
Em G
When I walked by and you caught my eye
D A
Didn’t you know love could shine this bright
G Bm G A
Well smile because you’re the deer in the headlights
Interlude: F#m G Bm A D x4
Verse 2:
G Bm
Met a girl with a graceful charm
D A F#m G
But when beauty met the beast, he froze
Bm
Got the sense I was not her type
Em G A
By black eye and bloody nose
Em Bm A
But I guess that’s the way it goes
Chorus
Bridge:
Bm A
It’s suffocating to say
Em G
But the female mystique takes my breath away
D A
So give me a smile or give me a sneer
G A
‘Cause I’m trying to guess here
Chorus:
D A
Tell me again was it love at first sight
Em G
When I walked by and you caught my eye
D A
Didn’t you know love could shine this bright
Em A
I’m sorry I ever tried (deer in the headlights)
Chorus:
D A
Tell me again was it love at first sight
Em G
When I walked by and you caught my eye
D A
Didn’t you know love could shine this bright
G Bm G A
If life was a game, you would never play nice
G Bm G A
If love was a beam, you’d be blind in both eyes
G Bm G A
Put your sunglasses on ‘cause you’re a deer in the headlights
Ending:
F#m G Bm A D
F#m G Bm A D
(You’re the deer in the headlights)
F#m G Bm A D x5
F#m G Bm A D
(You’re the deer in the headlights)
End on D
