I prefer to play this song in Eb tuning, as you can play it in open chords (C Am Dm G),
but I'll write it out normally
Tuning: Standard
No capo

Everybody's talkin', everyone's recallin' the reasons you're so cool.
B Am Dbm F#
Well, I can name a few. You could say that I'm in love.
B Abm
That's when you say "Alright, It's been such a long night,"
Dbm F#
and you're spoken for.
B Abm Dbm F#

He makes your heart skip, and I make an exit.

Dbm
but he's the one you'll be makin' out with tonight.
