Capo 3
Em7 G Cadd9
I was wondering how I would run into you
Em7 G Cadd9
With the same friends it was bound to happen soon
Em7 G
It's been a while, long enough
Cadd9
To forget how it feels to be in love
Em7 G Cadd9
I was wondering how I would run into you
Cadd9 G
Please don't ask me if I'm happy now
D Cadd9
'Cause I have always believed
G D
That you might come around, back to me
Cadd9 G
How can you stand here looking at me
D Cadd9
The way you do
Em7 D Cadd9
'Cause every time I look at him I know
Em7 G Cadd9
It Should've Been You
Em7 G Cadd9
This is something I don't like to talk about
Em7 G Cadd9
Lets be honest, you and I could've worked out
Em7 G
He makes me smile, just enough
Cadd9
To wonder if it is or isn't love
Em7 G Cadd9
But, that is something I don't like to talk about
Cadd9 G
So, please don't ask me if I'm happy now
D Cadd9
'Cause I had always believed
G D
That you might come around, back to me
Cadd9 G
How can you stand here looking at me

The way you do

How can you stand here looking at me

The way you do
