[D]I [G]don’t [D]know how to [G]love [D]him
[G]What to do, how to [D]move [A]him
I’ve been [D]changed, [A]yes really [D]changed [A]
In these [F#m]past few [Bm]days
When I’ve [F#m]seen my[Bm]self
I [G]seem [Em]like some[D]one [A]else


[D]I [G]don’t [D]know how to [G]tell [D]him
[G]I don’t see why he [D]moved [A]me
He’s a [D]man, [A]he just a [D]man[A]
And I’ve [F#m]had so [Bm]many [F#m]men be[Bm]fore
In [G]ve[D]ry [Em]ma[D]ny [A]ways
[G]He’s just one [D]more


[G]Should I bring him [F#]down
Should I scream and [Bm]shout
Should I speak of [G]love
Let my feeling [D]out
I never [C]thought I’d [G]come to [D]this
[G]What’s it [D]all a[Em]bout [A]


[D]Don’t you [G]think it’s [D]rather [G]fun[D]ny
[G]I should be in this po[D]si[A]tion
I’m the [D]one [A]who’s always [D]been, [A]so [F#m]calm, so [Bm]cool
[F#m]No lover’s [Bm]fool
[G]Run[D]ning [Em]eve[D]ry [A]show
[G]He scares me [D]so


[G] [F#] [Bm] [G] [D]
I never [C]thought I’d [G]come to [D]this
[G]What’s it [D]all a[Em]bout [A]


[D]Yet [G]if he said he loved [D]me
[G]I’d be lost, I’d be [D]fright[A]ened
I couldn’t [D]cope, [A]just couldn’t [D]cope [A]
I’d [F#m]turn my [Bm]head, [F#m]I’d back a[Bm]way
I [G]would[D]n’t [Em]want [D]to [A]know
[G]He scares me [D]so [G]
I [Em]want him [D]so [G]
I [D]love [Em]him [D]so
