 Bm               E
and he made some remark that my smile was superb
 G               D
I thought that was sweet and I started to go

when he said
G          A
"hey, whatcha doing tomorrow?"

and the week after that drank hot chocolate all day
G              D
when suddenly eight or nine months had flown by
        G            A
when he said "hey, whatcha doin' the rest of your life?
