  G                                                         D

1.   You and I had something special, baby,

Em                                                    C

    something that you only see on movie screen.

                - G                                                        D

    I know        lately I've been missing you like crazy.

                   - Em                                                      C

    Oh, why,        why'd you let me in, just to let me go ?

 

Em                       C

    Most guys will get high when feeling low,

Em                  D

    but I don't think that that's the way to go.

Em                  C

    Sometimes I'll be sitting on my own,

       D                                                            G

    thinking 'bout life, thinking 'bout you and me.

 

G                                                 D

    How do you lose the one you love ?

                                              Am

After giving it all, you gave it up.

                                         C

Maybe my love wasn't enough,

                           D

you think you know, but you never can.

G                                               D

    How do you lose your only plan ?

                                                            Am

Well, darling, just give me one more chance,

                                                C                   D                 G

and I'll give you everything I have, I'll try to be a better man.

 

     G                                               D

2.       I felt things when we were naked,

Em                                          C

    I saw an angel but they've hidden their wings.

                 - G                                               D

    I know,        everyone's got that special baby.

                       - Em                                             C

    Oh, why ?          Now I only see you in my dreams.

 

Em                       C

    Most guys will get high when feeling low,

Em                  D

    but I don't think that that's the way to go.

Em                  C

    Sometimes I'll be sitting on my own,

  D                                                            G

thinking 'bout life, thinking 'bout you and me.    +  CHORUS (end in Am)

 

   Am                                               C

+        I've been up and I've been down,

                                                     G

    think that's just what love's about.

                                                            D                                   Am

    You took the words right out my mouth, if you feel it, say it now !

                                                            C

    It's been a while, but I've figured it out,

                                                      G

    but ain't that just what love's about ?

                                                            D                      E                   A

    You took the words right out my mouth, but if you feel it, say it now !

 

A                                                  E

    How do you lose the one you love ?

                                              Bm

After giving it all, you gave it up.

                                         D

Maybe my love wasn't enough,

                           E

you think you know, but you never can.

A                                               E

    How do you lose your only plan ?

                                                             Bm

Well, darling, just give me one more chance,

                                                D                   E                 A

and I'll give you everything I have, I'll try to be a better man.
