B                                F#
You and I had something special, baby
G#m                             E
Something that you only see on movie screen
      B                                   F#
I know lately I've been missing you like crazy
       G#m                                   E
Oh, why, why'd you let me in just to let me go?

E/D#            E
Most guys will get high when feeling low
G#m    F#
But I don't think that that's the way to go
E/D#      E
Sometimes I'll be sitting on my own
F#sus4                              F#
Thinking 'bout life, thinking 'bout you and me

Chorus:
B
How do you lose the one you love?
F#
After giving it all, you gave it up
C#m
Maybe my love wasn't enough
E               F#
You think you know, but you never can
B
How do you lose your only plan?
F#                                   C#m
Well darling, just give me one more chance
                                E
And I'll give you everything I have
            F#             B
I'll try to be a better man

I felt things when we were naked
I saw an angel, but they've hidden their wings,
I know
Everyone's got that special baby
Oh, I, now I only see you in my dreams

Most guys will get high when feeling low
But I don’t think that that’s the way to go
Sometimes I'll be sitting on my own
Thinking ’bout life, thinking 'bout you and me

Chorus

C#m                         E
I've been up and I've been down
                                B
Think that's just what love's about
                                 F#
You took the words right out my mouth
                       C#m
If you feel it, say it now
                                      E
It's been a while but I've figured it out
                                  B
But ain't that just what love's about?
                                 F#
You took the words right out my mouth
            G#              C#
But if you feel it, say it now

Chorus:
C#
How do you lose the one you love? (How do you lose?)
G#
After giving it all, you gave it up
D#m
Maybe my love wasn't enough
F#              G#
You think you know, but you never can
C#
How do you lose your only plan?
G#                                   D#m
Well darling, just give me one more chance
                                F#
And I'll give you everything I have
            G#             C#
I'll try to be a better man
