Capo on 4th Fret
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
Am                                   F
On the other side of a street I knew, stood a girl that looked like you
C                         G
I guess that's deja vu but I thought this can't be true cause
Am                       F
You moved to west L.A or New York or Santa Fe or
C                         G
Wherever to get away from me
 
Dm                    F
Oh but that one night was more than just right
C                  G
I didn't leave you cause I was all through
Dm                   F
Oh I was overwhelmed and frankly scared as hell
E7sus4           E7
Because I really fell for you
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F                C                     G                    Am   G
Oh I swear to you I'll be there for you this is not a drive by-i-i-i-i
F                C                     G                    E7sus4 E7
  Just a shy guy looking for a two-ply Hefty bag to hold my i-i-i-i- love
F                  C                    G
  When you move me everything is groovy they don't like it sue me
Am              G
mmm the way you do me 
F                C                     Dm                   E7       Am
Oh I swear to you I'll be there for you this is not a drive by-i-i-i-i
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Am                                     F
On the other side of a downward spiral, my love for you went viral
C                          G
And I loved you every mile you drove away
Am                            F
But now here you are again so let's skip the "how you been" and
C                             G
Get down to the "more than friends" at last
 
Dm                    F
Oh but that one night is still the highlight
C                  G
I didn't leave you until I came to
Dm                    F
And I was overwhelmed and frankly scared as hell
E7sus4           E7
Because I really fell for you
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F                C                     G                    Am   G
Oh I swear to you I'll be there for you this is not a drive by-i-i-i-i
F                C                     G                    E7sus4 E7
  Just a shy guy looking for a two-ply Hefty bag to hold my i-i-i-i- love
F                  C                    G
  When you move me everything is groovy they don't like it sue me
Am              G
mmm the way you do me
F                C                     Dm                   E7
Oh I swear to you I'll be there for you this is not a drive by-i-i-i-i
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Em        Am         Dm      G   G/F
Please believe that when I leave
        E             Dm
There's nothing up my sleeve
             G
But love for you and a little time to get my head together too
 
Am                                   F
On the other side of a street I knew, stood a girl that looked like you
C                         G
I guess that's deja vu but I thought this can't be true cause
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F                C                     G                    Am   G
Oh I swear to you I'll be there for you this is not a drive by-i-i-i-i
F                C                     G                    E7sus4 E7
  Just a shy guy looking for a two-ply Hefty bag to hold my i-i-i-i- love
F                  C                    G
  When you move me everything is groovy they don't like it sue me
Am              G
mmm the way you do me
F                C                     Dm                    E7      F
Oh I swear to you I'll be there for you this is not a drive by-i-i-i-i

That's what I do as well, except for the chorus which I play my own pattern. On the bridge I just do one downstrum for each chord.

Sounds perfect, strumming patern is a bit hard. I use all up strums and mute the downstrums, so up down(mute) up down(mute). What do you guys think?

Instead of a G, you should use an E7. I tried it and it made the song sound better, try it out if you want. Otherwise, it's great. Thanks!
