  Why’d it have to be him?

[Verse 1]
Fm
  Will he take you to
  the same place?
C
  One more hardback in
  your bookcase.
Db
  You’ve got that look
  in your eyes,
Bb           C
  I’m blind.

[Chorus]
Fm
Have you ever seen,
                     Eb
Ever seen a guy with moves
like that?
                         Cm
Makes me wonder how I’ve been
so bad.
        Db
My head turns when the lights
Go dim.
Fm
Have you ever been,
                 Eb
Ever been with a guy like that?
                    Cm
Out of everyone you could’ve had.
                   Db
Why’d it have to be,
Why’d it have to be,
Why’d it have to be him?
Fm C Db x2

Fm
  Take my mind for a spin,
C
  You don’t believe in
                  Db
  that shit anyway.
                    Bb
  How long has it been
  Since I came down?
    C
Gave up on New Years Day.
Fm
  Conceal that smile on your face,
C
  I’ve only packed a suitcase.
Db                     Bb
  Leave the future defined
                    C
  If you don’t mind.
