[Verso 1]
Em
On the other side of a street I knew 
C
Stood a girl that looked like you 
G
This must be deja vu 
D
But I thought this can´t be true 
Em                        C                       G
Cause you moved to west L.A or New York or Santa Fe 
                           D
Or where ever to get away from me 
 
 
[Pré-Refrão]
Am
Oh but that one night 
C
Was more than just right 
Em                D
I didn´t leave you cause I was all through 
Am                  C                          B
Oh I was overwhelmed and frankly scared as hell 
                B7
Because I really fell for you 
 
 
[Refrão]
C
Oh I swear to ya 
G
I´ll be there for ya 
D                    Em
This is not a drive by 
C               G
Just a shy guy looking for a two ply 
D                  B
Hefty bag to hold my... love 
C                G
When you move me everything is groovy 
D
They don´t like it sue me 
Em
The way you do me 
C
Oh I swear to ya 
G
I´ll be there for ya 
Am                  B  Em
This is not a drive by 
 
 
[Verso 2]
Em
On the other side of a downward spiral 
C
My love for you went viral 
G                          D
And I loved you every mile you drove away 
Em
But now here you are again 
C
So let´s skip the "how you been" 
G                               D
And get down to the "more than friends" at last 
 
 
[Pré-Refrão]
Am
Oh but that one night 
C

Em                D

Am                  C                          B
Oh I was overwhelmed and frankly scared as hell 
                B7
Because I really fell for you

Oh I swear to ya

[Ponte]
Bm      Em         C      D
Please believe that when I leave 
       B              Am               D
There´s nothing up my sleeve but love for you 
And a little time to get my head together too

these chords would work if they were in capo 9... no idea where you came up with 3. did yo just *think* it sounded right? listen to the music.

i agree that these chords work alot better on capo9

I agree, capo 9 works way better but for my guitar it is really hard to hit the B's. Give and take I guess.
