          D
What's a boy to do, when fate is cruel?
         A
Keep on keepin' on try to bend the rules
        D                               A
I'll do anything to find a way to your heart

         D
I got a rabbit's foot but luck don't come
        A
Got my fingers crossed and they go numb
       D                  B            E
I can hold my breath and wish for you
          E
I need a miracle to make it true uh

Chorus:
D        E7   A              D         E7    A
Life is hard, I need a remedy for the way I feel
     D          E7      A        D
My bread keeps landing jam side down
                          E
Say you'll be there to spread love around

I was sweet on you that's how I felt
Got a butter heart, you made it melt
Like a big eyed kid in a candy store
I had a little sugar, now I want some more

Chorus

     D          E7      A        D  G
My bread keeps landing jam side down
                          E7             D
Say you'll be there to spread love around

                       A
You are my destiny you
                            D
Bring out the best in me you
                          A E
You made me feel so lucky
        D A E           D A E
So lucky     to have you
                E
And I need you yeah I need you

Chorus - x2

     D          E7      A        D
My bread keeps landing jam side down
                          E
Say you'll be there to spread love around
