Blast from the past

This is the first song I ever wrote (circa 1998) and it popped into my head this morning
I know a girl who likes to sing
She likes to dress up and wear pretty things
She's always looking for someone to love
Somebody to hold, someone to dream of
I used to think that someone was me
I guess I was wrong--it's easy to see...
Maybe it doesn't matter
Losing control
Maybe it doesn't matter
Guess we'll never know
I know a girl who likes to play
She always gets everything to go her way
Of all the guys, she could have anyone
But all she ever wants is to have some fun
Flirts with them, dances with him
However hard I try I can never win...
But maybe it doesn't matter
Losing my mind
But maybe it doesn't matter
Think about you all the time
I know a girl who likes to dance
The way she moves can put me in a trance
She glides across the floor--is this for real?
I can never forget the way she makes me feel
I tried to tell her everything that I know
But the words don't come, there's a frog in my throat...
Maybe it doesn't matter
Falling apart
Maybe it doesn't matter
Losing my heart
I know a girl who likes to laugh
She'll take you away--make you forget the past
She's quick with a smile to ease your pain
But when she's gone it comes back again
I've known her a long time now, you'd think I'd learn
But each new day it's for her I burn...
Maybe it doesn't matter
I don't know what to do
Maybe it doesn't matter
Cause I'm still here with you
Maybe it doesn't matter
You got me felling so blue
But maybe it does matter
Cause I'm in love with you
Cause I'm in love with you
Cause I'm in love with you
Cause I'm in love with...

If there was a chair in which I could comprehend, I would stand always and embrace the path

So I can say this is the way I use to be" -- John Mayer
It's definitely acoustic but I have played it electric before.
A...........Bm........G..........A
I know a girl...who likes to sing
She likes to dress up and wear pretty things
She's always looking...for someone to love
Somebody to hold...someone to dream of
I used to think...that someone could be me
I guess I was wrong...it's easy to see
Chorus is D,A,Bm,G last time is D,A,Bm,(F#m to G)
With the D coming in on "matter" just let the last A ring for "maybe it doesn't"
It's got an overal upbeat stuccato strum pattern that's catchy enough to stick in your head for quite a while.
when all the others drive her mad
and all the dancing dervish trips
make her fall or lose her grip
and all her smiling winning ways
and hazy laughing sun filled days
just disappear and there's no man
can stop the girl from falling
I know a girl who can't relax
who wields a mighty battle axe
and if you want that girl for yourn
the one who grieves you with her scorn
you're crazy mate
you can't imprison hearts so free
just leave the girl and let it be
hehehehehhe.....ooooppppsss
