[D](Ooh...)
That day, I first saw you (whoa, [Bm]whoa) passing by..
I [D]wanted, to know your name, but [Bm]I...was much too [A]shy.
But I was [D]looking at you so hard,
that you [Bm]must have had a hunch.
So, you [G]came up to me and [Gm7]asked me my name.
Chorus
You beat me to the [DM7]punch..that [Em7]time..
You beat me to the [DM7]punch..oh, oh, oh, [Em7]oh.
You beat me to the [DM7][Em7]pun.un.un.unch..
Whoa, whoa, whoa...

[D]After..I had known you, for what [Bm]seems like a long, long, time.
I [D]wanted, wanted to ask you would you [Bm]please, please, be [A]mine.
Whenever [D]you came around, my heart would pound,
so, you [Bm]must have had a hunch.
So, you [G]came up to me and [Gm7]asked me to be yours.
Chorus
You beat me to the [DM7]punch..one more [Em7]time..
You beat me to the [DM7]punch..oh, oh, oh, [Em7]oh.
You beat me to the [DM7][Em7]pun.un.un.unch..
Yeahhh...

Since [G]I loved you, I [A]thought you would be true and [DM7]love
me, [Em7]tender.
So, I [DM7]let my heart [Em7]surrender..to [DM7]you, yes I [Em]did.
But [G]I found out, [A]beyond a doubt..one [DM7]day, boy,
you were a [Em7]playboy..who would [G]go away and leave me, [A]blue.
#4.
So, I ain't gonna [D]wait, around for you to put me down.
This [Bm]time I'm gonna play my hunch..and [G]walk away this [Gm7]very day.
And beat you to the [DM7]punch, this [Em7]time.
I'll beat you to the [DM7]punch, yes, I [Em7]will.
Outro
I'll let you [DM7]know, know..how it [Em7]feels...(Fade.)
