Verse 1:
[G] Not long ago in my [C]high school days,[D] I watched a girl from so [G]far away,
[Em] But every time she [C]passed me by,[D] I turned my head away and [G]quietly sighed.
[G] And when she walked by her [C]hair would dance,[D] a secret tango that [G]only I could understand,
[Em] And when she'd ask me for the [C]time of day,[D] I'd look her in the eyes and [G]quietly say.
Chorus:
Oh Kris[G]tina, Kris[C]tina, do [D]you have any clue who I [G]am? (HELL NO!)
[Em] So listen up cause I'll [C]tell ya once and I'll [D]explain myself the best that I [G]can.
Whoa! Kris[G]tina, Kris[C]tina, you don't [D]know me so I'll have to per[G]sist, (whistle)
[Em] I'm kinda shy so no [C]wonder why, Kris[D]tina she don't know I e[G]xist.
[G] [Em] [C] [D] x2
Verse 2:
[G] From class to class, I [C]followed her[D], but I swore I'd leave her [G]undisturbed,
[Em] And if she'd ever stopped and [C]turned around,[D] I'd get so nervous that I'd [G]stare at the ground.
[G] And then one day in pho[C]tography,[D] I found a contact print that [G]I could not believe,
[Em] and there she was staring [C]back at me,[D] so I took her home so [G]quietly.
Chorus:
Kris[G]tina, Kris[C]tina, do [D]you have any clue who I [G]am? (HELL NO!)
[Em] So listen up cause I'll [C]tell ya once and I'll [D]explain myself the best that I [G]can.
Kris[G]tina, Kris[C]tina, you don't [D]know me so I'll have to per[G]sist, (whistle)
[Em] I'm kinda shy so no [C]wonder why, Kris[D]tina she don't know I e[G]xist.
[G] [Em] [C] [D] x2
Verse 3:
[G] 1.17.[C]98[D] has been a day that I've [G]come to hate,
[Em] As I walked into the [C]video store,[D] there she stood as my jaw [G]fell to the floor.
[G] Tapping her toe, and [C]waiting in line,[D] with a movie and a[G]nother guy,
[Em] Why did I bother, why [C]did I care,[D] about this girl named Kris[G]tina Behr?
Chorus:
Oh Kris[G]tina, Kris[C]tina, you'll [D]never get to know who I [G]am? (YOUR LOSS!)
[Em] This is goodbye, so [C]please don't cry and i'll let [D]you down as softly as I [G]can.
Kris[G]tina, Kris[C]tina, a[D]nother name to cross off my [G]list.
[Em] Another life, it [C]coulda been nice, but Kris[D]tina, she don't know what she [G]missed.
