C#m On the other side of a street I knew A Stood a girl that looked like you. E I guess that’s déjà vu, B But I thought, “This can’t be true”, C#m ‘Cause you moved to West L.A. A Or New York or Santa Fe, E Or wherever, B To get away from me. F#m Oh, but that one night A Was more than just right. C#m I didn’t leave you B ‘Cause I was all through. F#m A Oh, I was overwhelmed and, Frankly, scared as hell G#sus4 G# Because I really fell for you. Chorus: A Oh, I swear to you E I’ll be there for you. B C#m B A This is not a drive by. E Just a shy guy looking for a two-ply B G#7/C A Hefty bag to hold my love. When you move me, E Everything is groovy. B They don’t like it, sue me. C#m B Mmm, the way you do me.
