5   5 5 5    5   5 4   5    5 5
On the other side of a street I knew
-5 -5 -5   -5   -5     -5 -5
Stood a girl that looked like you
5   5     5    5 5 -4 4
I guess that's deja vu
-4 -4    4     -4    4   5   5     -3”
But I thought this can't be true, cause
5    5   4   5   5 5 4
You moved to West L.A or
-5   -5 -5 -5 -5 6 -5
New York or Santa Fe or
5 5 -4 4   5 5 5   -4 4
Wherever to get away from me
-6   6   6    6 -4 5
Oh, but that one night
5   -6   6    6   -4 5
Was more than just right
-6 -6 6    6   -6
I didn't leave you
-4 -4 4 -4     5
Cause I was all through
-6 -6 6 6 5   5
Oh I was overwhelmed
-6   -6 6    6    6   -6
And frankly scared as hell
5   5 5 5 5    5 -5   5
Because I really fell for you

Chorus:
8 8   8   -8 7
Oh I swear to ya
8   8    8   -8 7
I'll be there for ya
-8 7 -8 7   8   7 -8 8 9 7
This is not a drive by-y-y-y-y
8   8 8   7
Just a shy guy,
8 8    8 8 8 7 -8 7 -8
Looking for a 2-ply hefty bag
7   -8 -8 -8 7 -7 7 -8 -8 7
To hold my -y-y -y-y –y -y love
8    8   8   7
When you move me
8 8 6    6   5 4
Everything is groovy
8     8    7   7 6   5
They don't like it sue me
-8   7 -8   7 8 7
Mmm the way you do me
8 8   8   -8 7
Oh I swear to ya
8   8    8   -8 7
I'll be there for ya
-8 7 -8 7   8   7 -8 8 9 7
This is not a drive by-y-y-y-y

Verse 2:
On the other side of a downward spiral
My love for you went viral
And I loved you every mile you drove away
But now here you are again so
Let's skip the "how you've been" and
Get down to the "more than friends" at last
Oh but that one night
Was still the highlight
I didn't need you until I came to
And I was overwhelmed
And frankly scared as hell
Because I really fell for you

(Chorus)

9    8 -10   -9   -9 -8   9
Please believe that when I leave
-8     8   8   8 -7 -9
There's nothing up my sleeve
8   -9   8 -8
But love for you
-8 7 -8 7   -8
And a little time
7 -8 7   -8   7 -8 7 -8
To get my head together too
