A                            G
It feels like I'm walking on air
                   A        G
When we walk down our street
          A                               G
When the neighbors stop to watch us walk by
                     A              G
You can hear 'em talking (let them talk)

     A                                  G
Sometimes I think that you're the only reason
                A               G
The sun still shines (when it shines)
               A                               G
And when this wicked world starts bringing me down
                   A        G
I tell myself that I'm one lucky guy

Chorus:
           D
I got the girl,
        G
Holding all the cards
           D/F#
I got the girl,
         G
She's a work of art
           D/A
I got the girl,
       G/B            D
Who's gonna break my heart

She likes to wear her stripe with her plaids
And she won't brush her hair (I swear)
She don't like wearing shoes in December
But I don't care (I don't care)
What she wears

Chorus

If I was a holy man I'd get down on my knees
So the angels that watch over her would give a break to me
Holy Mother of saint bubble gum and sister band-aid knees
Won't you please pray for the ones like me

But the truth is someday
Somebody is going to take her (you see)
But the queen of hearts will always be
A five-year-old princess to me (to me)

Chorus:
           D
I got the girl,
        G
Holding all the cards
           D/F#
I got the girl,
         G
She's a work of art
           D/A
I got the girl,
       G/B            D
Who's gonna break my heart
G          D
I got the girl
                G
She's going to leave her mark
           D/F#
I got the girl
         G
She's a work of art
           D/A
I got the girl
       G/B                 D
She's going to break your heart

G          D  G
I got the girl,
           D/F# G
I got the girl,
           D/A
I got the girl,
       G/B
She's gonna
       D
She's gonna
           D   G
I got the girl,
           D/F# G
I got the girl,
           D/A G D G D
I got the girl
