C                       F             C
My love, she throws me like a rubber ball
               F
(Ohohoh, the sweetest thing)
But she won't catch me or break my fall
(Ohohoh, the sweetest thing)
Baby got blue skies up ahead
But in this, I'm a raincloud
You know she likes a dry kind of love
(Ohohoh, the sweetest thing)

Chorus:
Dm  C      G
Im losing you
         Dm       C      G
Hey hey hey, I'm losing you yeah
                        C
Aint love the sweetest thing

I wanted to run but she made me crawl
(Ohohoh, the sweetest thing)
Eternal fire, she turned me to straw
(Oh oh, the sweetest thing)
You know I got black eyes
But they burn so brightly for her
Mine is a blind kind of love
(Ohohoh, the sweetest thing)

Chorus

Blue-eyed boy meets a brown-eyed girl
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
You can sew it up, but you still see the tear
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Baby's got blue skies up ahead
But in this, I'm a rain-cloud
Ours is a stormy kind of love
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
