[Intro]
C     D   Em
               G

[Verse 1]
C         Em
  In the Range outside and
I'm thinking about loose ends
C        Em
  Even though we cut ties,
                           G
 I don't wanna be just friends
C          Em
  From the day I got your number
                               D
like Paris in the summer, it ends
C       Em
 Every day that goes by,
I wish I was in your bed

[Chorus]
 C        Em
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I love you, oh, God
 C        Em
Ooh, ooh, ooh
                   G
Trying to find a reason
why we can't work this out
 C         Em
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I love you, oh, my God
 C        Em
Ooh, ooh, ooh
                   G
Trying to find a reason
why we can't work this out

C          Em
  You were on the West side,
I was driving down the I-10
C          Em
  And the song came on, got me
                             G
thinking who you chose instead
C        Em
 Oh, I never thought twice,
                               D
but I wonder what you see in them
C          Em
..Another day goes by that
 I can't get you out of my head

I love you, oh, my God
 C        Em
Ooh, ooh, ooh
                   G
Trying to find a reason
 why we can't work this out
