Chorus:
(Bb) I say Hey, I'll be gone today
But I'll be back all around the way
It (Eb) seems like everywhere I go
The (Bb) more I see the less I know
But (F) I know, (
Eb) one thing, that I (
Bb) love you
I (F) love you, I (
Eb) love you, I (
Bb) love you
I've (Bb) been a lot of places all around the way
I've seen a lot of joy and I've seen a lot of pain
But I don't (Eb) wanna write a love song for the world
I just (Bb) wanna write a song about a boy and a girl
(Bb) Junkies on the corner always calling my name
And the kids on the corner playing ghetto games
When I (Eb) saw you getting down, girl, I hope it was you
And when I (Bb) look into your eyes, I knew it was true
Chorus
Now (Bb) I'm not a highly meta-physical man
But I know when the stars are aligned you can
(Eb) Bump into a person in the middle of the road
(Bb) Look into their eyes and you suddenly know
(Bb) Rocking in the dance hall moving with you
Dancing in the night in the middle of June
(Eb) My momma told me don't lose you
(Bb) 'Cause the best luck I had was you
Chorus
And I said (Gm) rocking in the dance hall moving with you
I say (Bb) hey momma, hey momma, close to you
(Gm) Rocking in the dance hall moving with you
I say (Bb) hey poppa, hey poppa, close to you (repeat once)
Well (Bb) my momma told me don't lose you
'Cause the best luck I had was you
And (F) I know, (
Eb) one thing, that I (
Bb) love you
Chorus
(repeatingBb until end)
