[Chorus]
       G
I say hey, I'll be gone today, but I'll be back, comin' around the way.
C                               G
Seems like everywhere I go, the more I see the less I know,
    D                C                             G
But I know (I know) one thing, (one thing) that I love you. (baby girl)
   D          C            G
I love you, I love you, I love you.  (it's true)

[Verse 1]
  G
I been a lot of places all around the way
  G
I seen a lot of joy, and I seen a lot of pain
             C
But I don't want to write a love song... for the world
       G
I just want to write a song about a boy and a girl
G
Junkies on the corner always calling my name
        G
And the kids on the corner playing... ghetto games
         C
When I saw you getting down, girl, I hoped it was you
            D
And when I looked into your eyes, I knew it was true

[Chorus]
      G
I say hey, I'll be gone today, but I'll be back, comin' around the way.
    C                               G
It seems like everywhere I go, the more I see the less I know,
    D                C                             G
But I know (I know) one thing, (one thing) that I love you. (baby girl)
   D          C            G
I love you, I love you, I love you.

[Verse 2]
    G
Now I'm not a highly metaphysical man
       G
But I know when the stars are aligned you can  (okay)
C
Bump into a person in the middle of the road
G
Look into their eyes, and you suddenly know
D                          C
Rocking in the dance hall, moving with you
G
Dancing in the night in the middle of June
D                 C
My momma told me don't lose you
G
'Cause the best luck I had was you (true!)

    D                C                             G
But I know (I know) one thing, (one thing) that I love you. (baby girl)
   D          C            G
I love you, I love you, I love you.
