THINK IT OVER
Words and Music by Buddy Holly and Norman Petty

         INTRO:  A  E7

  1. Think(A) it over, what you just said
    (E7A)Think it over in your pretty little head
    (E7 D)Are you sure that I'm not the one?
    (E7A)Is your love real or only fun?
    You think it o(E)-ver, yes think it o(D7)-ver
    A lonely heart(A) grows cold and old  (E7)  (to Verse 2)

  2. Think it over and let me know
    Think it over, but don't be slow
    Just remember, all birds and bees
    Go by twos through life's mysteries
    You think it over, yes think it over
    A lonely heart grows cold and old  (to Lead)

    3. LEAD:  A  E7A  E7D  E7A  E  D7  A  E7  (to Verse 3)

  3. Think it over and think of me 
    Think it over and you will see
    A happy day when you and I
    think as one and kiss the blues goodbye
    You think it over, yes think it over
    A lonely heart grows cold and old
    (E7 A)Think it over (over and over)
    (E7 A)Think it over (over and over) [repeat and fade]
