Dm        C/E
I keep walking
F             F/A A#                   C
I keep talking to every cute girl I see
Dm       C/E
I keep looking
F               F/A       A#
I keep searching for the girl that you used to be

Chorus:
C                 A7
Cause before all this
         Dm
You were loving me, hating me,
tell me you're my baby,
F
calling me, telling me
                A#
everything that you have just been through
    C
And I'd say
Dm                                 F
Okay my baby everything will be alright
I will never let you out of my sight
      A#
Cause I will hold you in my arms and
                 A7
I'll hold you so tight

Been searching for a girl like you
'Cause no girl has got me through
the things that you've got me through
We used to talk every day and night
But now when we're talking it don't feel right
It don't feel right

Chorus:
You were loving me, hating me,
tell me you're my baby
Calling me, telling me, everything that you
have just been through
And I'd say, "Okay my baby, everything will
be alright
I'll never let you out of my sight,
'cause I will hold you in my arms
And I'll hold you so tight"

Dm                      F
I said maybe we should hang out soon
    A#                               C
You said meet me at your house at noon
Dm                 C/E    F
I waited there you never came to see me
        A#                                    A7
That's why I want the girl that you used to be

You were loving me, hating me,
tell me you're my baby
Calling me, telling me, everything that you
have just been through
And I'd say, "Okay my baby, everything will
be alright
I'll never let you out of my sight,
'cause I will hold you in my arms
And I'll hold you so tight

Be, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
Be, yeah, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
Hmmm

I want the girl you used to be
I want the girl you used to be
