G#
I wander down these streets all by myself
Think of my future now
              C#
I just don't know
                     G#
Well I don't seem to care
G#
I do notice that I'm by your home
                                C#
I wonder if you're sitting all alone
                      G#
Or is your boyfriend there

Chorus:

           C#  G#  D#
Because I feel so right
         C#  G#    D#
Let my imagination go
             C# G# D#
Until you're in my sight
               C#    G#          D#
And through my veins temptation flows

      G# F# C#
Whoa oh
      G# F# C#
Oh yeah

So I sit down here on the hard concrete
Think of my future now, I just don't know
Well I don't seem to care
I stop to notice that I'm by your home
I wonder if you're sitting all alone
Or is your boyfriend there?

Chorus

Whoa oh
Oh yeah

Chorus

Whoa oh
Oh yeah
Whoa oh
Oh yeah
