Ohh ohh ohh oh-oh oh-oh

[Verse 1]
Em
   The show is over,
         D
you can go pack up and leave
C
  But lean a little closer,
                        G
 I can show you what I see

We could be together,
                        B
I'll be what you think of
I could be your lover,
not just someone you meet

[Chorus 1]
C                  G
  Ayo, ayo, 'cause she'll
 never know

How can I get her, get her out
       Em            D
 of my dreams? (Doo, doo, doo)
C                  G
  Ayo, ayo, 'cause I'm not that bold
            B
How can she be so, be so far
 out of reach? (Doo, doo, doo)

[Verse 2]
Em                     D
I know, I know, I know, I
said I'm sorry
C
I hope you go,
 just don't forget about me
G
I know it's all my fault
                 B
for falling for you

Em                D
   But I hear you calling my name,
          C
 is it because of the fame

Or are you feeling the same? (Same)

  I can't stop thеse thoughts,
                    B
 babe, I'm going insa---ne
