AMÉLIE
F# 
 I could stay right here 
G#m                        A#m 
 And give back the boy his book 
 
 But if I stay right here 
B                       F# 
 He'll think that I'm a nun 
          G#m 
 And I am not a nun 
       A#m             B 
 He'll think that I am chaste 
F#                         G#m 
 And I am not that chaste 
 
        A#m B  C# 
Or I could run away 
                                                     B 
Leave his book on the shelf by the lube and the lingerie 
 
But that means it's over 
                    C# 
Whatever this is, and I 
 
Really think I should wait 
                               B 
Though it's hard to articulate why 
 
Or I 
C# 
Could stay right here 
C#/D 
And shake this habit off 
C#/D#                     B 
Just stay right here and say, "Hello" 
 
And say my name 
      B 
Say, "Here's your book" 
      A#m 
And, "What a place" 
      G#m                F# 
And, "Hey, let's keep in touch" 
B                      G#m 
But that's way too much 
 
A#m  B             C# 
It's hard to go unseen 
                                                     B 
At least in this instance with so little distance between 
                                                  C# 
Me and the boy and his book and the shop and the– Wow! 
                                            B 
I take a step to get out but my feet forget how 
 
Bb B     F# 
Now it's me 
                     B 
Just me against the door 
                  F# 
This isn't what I thought 
                             B 
Although I think I want some more 
 
              C# 
But not right now 
             C#/D 
Now I need to go 
                           C#/D# 
I'm not finished with the boy– I mean the book! 
          B 
So I will hold him– hold it 'til tomorrow
