                      LEAD-IN: C  F  C  Am7
            G          G             F        C
            How it all started, I'll never forget -
            G         G           F            C
        how giddy you made me the day we first met - 
            F               F
         my intentions were good:
            C           C
         to learn all I could
            G         G          F          C
    of this marvelous angel that heaven had sent.
            G             F       F           Am7
            What happened next, I still can't explain:
            D             D7      C6           G
          I typed in some text; I Googled your name.
          
CHORUS:
             F              F            C            C
  now things ain't been the same since I Googled your name
             G        G            F            Am
   and found pages of links to the strangest of things,
             G           G             Am      Am7
        each sordid site having to do
             D              D           G            F
        with strange ladies who got the same name as you
             F            F             C          C
       an' I gotta scroll on 'cause I'm helplessly drawn
             G           G       G
      like a moth to the flame
             F            C
     since I Googled your name.
     
     Clicked through to a merchant who's tryin' to sell me
        Stan Lyness CDs, and Windows XP,
   with some R-rated videos she'd made of her kids,
         and every last item royalty-free.
         Now dear I ain't sayin' that store's run by you,
    but it's got your same address and phone number too.

       an' I ain't been the same since I Googled your name
   and found pages of links to the strangest of things,
        each sordid site having to do
        with weird women who got the same name as you
       an' I gotta scroll on, I'm so helplessly drawn
      like a moth to the flame
     since I Googled your name.

     Clicked through to some news from 2003
        of a witness gone missing, and a murd'ress set free.
  She'd been cleared of her crimes
         all seventeen times.
  Now they'd just found the bodies beneath her beach tree.
     While I know that's the sort of thing you'd never do,
    this gal worked in the same Post Office as you.

CHORUS INTERRUPTUS:
    an' love just ain't the same since I Googled your name.
   an' while you never lacked in attraction before
        with each passin' day you just fascinate more 
       an' I ain't been the same since I Googled your name
   and found pages of links to the strangest of things,
       an' I scroll on and on, I'm so helplessly drawn
      like a moth to the flame
     since I Googled your name.
