[Verse]
         G
I know a man
                 Bm
That looks just like me
                A
I'm filled with envy
                     D
Just thinking about him
                   G
'Cause he's got a girl
             Bm
Who looks so pretty
            A
And in her eyes

He's the perfect man
                   Bm
And lord knows I'm jealous
                     G
Of how she looks at him
like that
D                 A
Him like that, mm mm
            Bm
I know it's selfish but
         G
Is it a sin
    A
To love someone who loves
           D
another man

[Chorus]
D                     A
If it is then I repent
'Cause I don't know the
                Bm
man that she claims I am
         A
I could never be as
          G
good as him
       A
But I love her more
              D
than anything

            D
Don't know why she'd ever
             A
fall for me
She says that I'm the
                  Bm
 only one she'll ever love
              A
But when I'm looking in
        G
To her eyes

   A
I swear that there's
             D
a better guy

                           A
Looking back (looking back)
                          Bm
Looking back (looking back)
                     G
Looking back at me-e-e,
mm mm

D
La la la la La la la

[Verse]
D          G
I wanna believe
              Bm
That I'm that person,
               A
 the perfect version
               D
She thinks I am

                    G
Mm, but I'm just a human
            Bm
Broken with bruises
               A
I don't wanna screw
this u-u-up

                   Bm
And lord knows I'm jealous
                    G
Of how she looks at me
 like that
D
Me like that
       A
Mm mm mmm mm

                Bm
If only I could see it too
        G
Is it a si-i-in
    A
To love someone who
                D
loves another man

[Chorus]
D                     A
If it is then I repent
'Cause I don't know the
               Bm
man that she claims I am
         A                   G
I could never be as good as him
       A
But I love her more
              D
than anything

            D
Don't know why she'd
                 A
ever fall for me
She says that I'm the
                 Bm
 only one she'll ever
 love
              A
But when I'm looking in
        G
To her eyes

Looking back (looking back)
                     G
Looking back at me-e-e,
          D
 mm mm mm

[Outro]
                           A
Looking back (looking back)
                          Bm
Looking back (looking back)
                     G
Looking back at me-e-e
