There's a [D]girl downtown, with freckles on her nose

And [A]who knows, Katie? [G]a-Maybe you could [A]be the [D]one
Verse
There's a [D]boy outside, standin' in the rain
Hands are in his pockets he's a [D7]wonderin' why he came

The [D]girls call him Billy if they're callin' him at all
And [A]who knows, Billy? [G]a-Maybe you could [A]be the [D]one
Chorus
But [G]hearts don't fly, and words don't sing
[D]Boys like you can't [D7]buy no ring
[G]Love's not stuck, it just moves slow

Verse
a-Billy [D]walked inside, he ordered up a drink
He started gettin' nervous and a [D7]wonderin' what she'd think

[D]Just the kind of boy who could listen to her dreams
And [A]who knows, Katie? [G]a-Maybe you could [A]be the [D]one

Well, they [D]stepped outside, and took a little walk
Katie held his hand and [D7]Billy even talked

The [D]night fell easy as the moon came down
And [A]who knows, baby? [G]Maybe we could [A]be the [D]one
