F                    C
Stand there like a ghost
                  A#
Shaking from the rain, rain
F                   C
She'll open up the door
                   A#
And say are you insane
F                C      A#
Say it's been a long 6 months
F                   C
And you were too afraid
                      A#
To tell her what you want
                   F
And that's how it works
C                       A#
That's how you get the girl
Then you say

Chorus:
 F               C
 I want you for worse or for better
 A#
 I would wait forever and ever
   F
 Broke your heart
       C
 I'll put it back together
 A#
 I would wait forever and ever
F                   C
 And that's how it works
                         A#
 That's how you get the girl, girl
F                   C
 And that's how it works
                         A#
 That's how you get the girl, girl

Remind her how it used to be, be, yeah-yeah
With pictures in frames of kisses on cheeks, cheeks
Tell her how you must have lost your mind, ooh-ooh
When you left her all alone
And never told her why, why
And that's how it works
That's how you lost the girl
And now, you say

Chords

        F    C   A#
'Cause you know, oh
F        C      A#
I don't want you to go
F                C       A#
Remind me how it used to be
F             C                 A#
Pictures in frames, kisses on cheeks,
and say you want me

Chorus

 And that's how it works
 That's how you get the girl, girl
 And that's how it works
 That's how you get the girl, girl
 That's how it works
 That's how you got the girl, girl
