Deer In The Headlights(Keyboard chords)

	        Intro: D F#m  G  Bm  A  D (6x) 

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 


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 (4x) 

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 


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) 

 
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 (5x) 
F#m  G  Bm  A  D 
(You’re the deer in the headlights) 

End on: D
