Lyrics

If playing a Guitar use Capo on 5

(Am) I'm in a tight squeeze, you've got me on my knees
Every(G)thing I do is an attempt to please
My (F) heart's beating fast I'm no longer at ease
It's (E) like I have caught.... some fatal dis(Am)ease

(Dm) My friends all say that I'm playing with fire
They (Am) tell me I'm a fool if it's you that I desire
"She's (Dm) way out of your league!" they remind me every day
But my (E) longing for you just will not go away

CHORUS

I (Dm) thought I'd caught your eye at that local gig
But I (Am) learned I was your project, a mere guinea pig
They (Dm) say you're taking notes for a thesis you'll submit
On how (E) foolish men can be when by Cupid they are hit

CHORUS

I (Dm) know to you I'm nothing but some laboratory rat
But when I'm (Am) getting your attention, I'll settle for that
De(Dm)spite your contradictions it's still you that I crave
I can (E) see right through you but still want to be your slave

CHORUS

Last line: (Am) I'm in a tight squeeze
