I was backstage
E
Amaj7 F#m H
Couldn't believe my luck was in
E G#m
I saw him approach
C#m
Amaj7 F#m H
Wearing a most approachable grin
C#m E/B
When he said hello
F#m G#m
I was surprised he spoke so politely
C#m E/B
I said I'd liked his show
F#m G#m
Well he just smiled, I guess it happens nightly
Amaj7 Am
And so I fell in love
E G#m
We went to his room
Amaj7 F#m H
He had a video camera
E G#m
I was so nervous
Amaj7 F#m H
I had to try hard not to stammer
C#m E/B
He said "I'm glad you liked the show
C#m
F#m G#m
That crowd was dope out there tonight, alright
C#m E/B
You wanna see some more?
F#m G#m
Well, be my guest, you can have a private performance"
Amaj7 Am
I'd fallen in love
E G#m
I didn't ask why
E
Amaj7 F#m H
Though he seemed like such a regular guy
Amaj7
E G#m
He said we could be secret lovers
Amaj7 F#m H
Just him and me
C#m E/B
Then he joked "Hey, man!
F#m G#m
Your name isn't Stan, is it? We should be together!"
C#m E/B
And he was passionate
Amaj7
F#m G#m
I guess I would rate him a nine out of ten by then
Amaj7 Am (break)
I'd fallen in love
G Cmaj7
When I asked why have I heard so much
G Cmaj7 D
About him being charged with homophobia and stuff he just shrugged
SOLO

E G#m
Next morning we woke
E
Amaj7 F#m H
He couldn't have been a nicer bloke
E G#m
Over breakfast made jokes
C#m
Amaj7 F#m H
About Dre and his homies and folks
C#m E/B
Neither of us asked
C#m
F#m G#m
If or when we would see each other again
C#m E/B
But I thought that was cool
Amaj7
F#m G#m
Cause I was already late for school by then
Amaj7 Am
I'd fallen in love
