    C                   Em     - F                   Dm          G           C

1.     I was backstage,        couldn't believe my luck was in,

                           Em     - F                    Dm         G             Am

    I saw him approach         wearing a most approachable grin.

                                 C                    F                     Em          

    When he said “hello”, I was surprised he spoke so politely,

Am                              C                            F      

    I said I'd liked his show, well, he just smiled,

                    Em                            Am            Fm

    I guess it happens nightly, and so I fell in love.

 

    C                          Em     - F                Dm      G        

2.    We went to his room,        he had a video camera,

C                Em         - F                   Dm              G          

    I was so nervous,      I had to try hard not to stammer.

Am                                                    C                                    

    He said, “I'm glad you liked the show,

                               F            Em                  Am

    that crowd was dope out there tonight, alright.

                                           C                           F

    You wanna see some more? Well, be my guest !

                                Em                            - Am                    Fm

    You can have a private performance.”          I'd fallen in love.

 

    C                   Em    - F                                       Dm      G          C

3.    I didn't ask why,        though he seemed like such a regular guy,

                                Em           F               Dm         G          

    he said we could be secret lovers, just him and me.

Am                                   C                                 F

    Then he joked, 'Hey, man! Your name isn't Stan, is it?

                                Em

     We should be together!'

Am                               C                              F

    And he was passionate, I guess I would rate

               Em                        Am                    Fm  - - -

    him a nine out of ten, by then I'd fallen in love.

    When I asked, why have I heard so much

               D#                                            G#

    about him being charged with homophobia and stuff,

                   Bb          - - -

    he just shrugged.

 

    C - Em - F - Dm - G          C - Em - F - Fm

 

    C                              Em   - F                             Dm       G       C

4.    Next morning we woke,      he couldn't have been a nicer bloke,

                                      Em   - F           Dm               G                Am

    over breakfast made jokes      about Dre and his homies and folks.

                          C                  F                    Em                      Am

    Neither of us asked if or when we would see each other again,

                                         C                           F         Em

    but I thought that was cool, 'cause I was already late for school,

          Am                     Fm

    by then, I'd fallen in love.
