[Verse 1]
   F        C
If l could fly
             Am
I'd take you way up high,
         G
let you touch the sky
 F             C
Higher than a 747
          Am
Get you feelin’ like
                   G
you're walkin' on Heaven
   F         C
If I could paint
               Am
I’d put your pretty
           G
face in a picture frame
 F                       C
Girl, anything with you in it
            Am               G
Would be a masterpiece in a minute

[Chorus]
                     F
But all I can do is run
       C
every stop sign
          Am
Like the roof of this
             G
truck's got blue lights
F                C
..Roll up in a cloud of dust
Am                   G
..Can't get to you fast enough
F               C
..Get lost in those eyes
        Am              G
Get you in my arms and out
of my mind
F              C             Am
..Spend every minute lovin' you
              G        F
Girl, that's all I can do,
      C         Am
I can do, I can do
        G        F
That's all I can do,
      C         Am    G
I can do, I can do
