Lyrics & Chords: Say Hi

© Jay Foreman 2005

F#7
Well I'm walking along on my way somewhere


In a rush 'cos I've got somewhere to go

           B7
When I can see in the distanct, quite far away

     F#7
It's someone that I think that I know





Well, I don't know his name, but he always says hi


I guess he thinks that I'm one of his friends

       B7
I only spoke to him once and it was ages ago

           F#7
And it was just so I could borrow his pen




  Em
I do not want to say hi

        Am
Look, I don't mean to be rude

     B
It's not that I don't like you

               C#7                  Ab7, G7, F#7
It's just that I'm not in the mood.




          F#7
Well he's coming my way and I'm going his way


We're going to have to pass eachother by

         B7
But I'll do anything if it only means

        F#7
I don't have to look him in the eye





So I pretend I'm adjusting the strap on my bag


Like, to make it slightly more tight

         B7
I put my hands in my pockets and rummage around

    F#7
And turn my head a bit to the right





       Em
'Cos I do not want to say hi

        Am
Look, I don't mean to be rude

     B
It's not that I don't like you

               C#7                  Ab7, G7, F#7
It's just that I'm not in the mood.





(humming solo)
F#7(hold), G7, Ab7, A7(hold), Ab7



G7          F#7
Well, we're only a few short feet away


And there's just a few seconds to go

            B7
But there's just been definite eye-contact

         F#7
And it's far too late as both of us know





Well I can see him, he can see me, and we can see each other


One of us will have to go first

       B7
And so as we pass we briefly glance at each other and make this noise:


(muffled "aight?")



Em
I do not want to say hi

        Am
Look, I don't mean to be rude

     B
It's not that I don't like you

               C#7                  Ab7, G7, F#7
It's just that I'm not in the mood.
