G                  C
Not long ago in my high school days,
D                        G
I watched a girl from so far away,
Em                 C
But every time she passed me by,
D                         G
I turned my head away and quietly sighed.
G                          C
And when she walked by her hair would dance,
D                        G
A secret tango that only I could understand,
Em                            C
And when she'd ask me for the time of day,
D                            G
I'd look her in the eyes and quietly say.

G            C 
Oh Kristina, Kristina, 
   D                       G
do you have any clue who I am? (HELL NO!)
Em                      C          
So listen up cause I'll tell ya once 
         D                              G
and I'll explain myself the best that I can, 
      G         C
whoa, Kristina, Kristina 
          D                      G
you don't know me so ill have to persist, (whistle)
Em                  C
I'm kinda shy so no wonder why, 
D                         G
Kristina she don't know I exist.

G                      C
From class to class, I followed her,
D                        G
But I swore id leave her undisturbed,
Em                            C
And if she'd ever stopped and turned around,
D                           G
I'd get so nervous that I'd stare at the ground.
G                   C
And then one day in photography, 
D                            G
I found a contact print that I could not believe, 
Em                        C
and there she was staring back at me.
D                     G
So I took her home so quietly.

   G         C    
Oh Kristina, Kristina, 
   D                       G
do you have any clue who I am? (HELL NO!)
Em                      C     
So listen up cause I'll tell ya once 
         D                              G
and I'll explain myself the best that I can, 
G         C
Kristina, Kristina 
          D                       G
you don't know me so I'll have to persist, [whistle]
Em                  C
I'm kinda shy so no wonder why, 
D                         G
Kristina she don't know I exist.

1.17.98 
D                        G
has been a day that I've come to hate,
Em                   C
As I walked into the video store,
D                         G
There she stood as my jaw fell to the floor.
G                    C
Tapping her toe, and waiting in line,
D                G
With a movie and another guy,
Em                C
Why did I bother, Why did I care,
D                     G
About this girl named Kristina Behr?

G         C
Kristina, Kristina, 
       D                       G
you'll never get to know who I am (YOUR LOSS!)
Em                 C
This is goodbye so please don't cry 
            D                       G
and ill let you down as softly as I can,
G         C
Kristina, Kristina, 
D                            G
another name to cross off my list.
Em               C
Another life, it could've been nice, 
    D                                G
but Kristina she won't know what she missed.
