verse 1 

    D               A 
You light up every street light 
     Bm                        G 
You stop every heart when you start that smile 
    D                    A 
But somehow you're still lonely 
   Bm                  G           
Oh let me show you why you're the only 
D                   A 
one I wanna give my heart to 
       Bm                  G                D           A 
If you give me the chance, oh I'll show you it's alright 
   Bm             G 
Oh watch your life 

 
   D        A       Bm      G 
To pick you up, I'd lay you down 
    D         A       Bm    G 
I'd hold you 'til you come unwound 
    D        A         Bm         G 
I'd make you feel like you're all I need 
   D               A 
In this whole world 
  Bm   G          D   A   Bm 
Ah, if you were my girl 
   G          D    A   Bm  G 
If you were my girl 

verse 2 
                 D             A 
You wouldn't be staring at the ceiling 
       Bm                         G                     D 
With a half broke heart wondering if that feeling is ever 
         A 
Going to fade away 
       Bm                      G 
I'd change all that if you let me today 
            D           A 
Cause I've never wanted anything 
    Bm                      G 
The way I want you next to me 
     D        A 
For all my life 
     Bm         G 
Come on let's ride 

 
   D        A       Bm      G 
To pick you up, I'd lay you down 
    D         A       Bm    G 
I'd hold you 'til you come unwound 
    D        A         Bm         G 
I'd make you feel like you're all I need 
   D               A 
In this whole world 
  Bm   G          D   A   Bm 
Ah, if you were my girl 
   G          D    A   Bm  G 
If you were my girl 

Bridge 
        C                               G 
For the first time maybe ever, who am I kidding 
                             C               A 
Girl I've never felt the way I feel, oh it's so real 


   D        A       Bm      G 
Let me pick you up, and lay you down 
    D         A       Bm    G 
Hold you 'til you come unwound 
    D        A         Bm         G 
I'll make you feel like you're all I need 
   D               A 
In this whole world 
  Bm   G          D   A   Bm 
Ah, if you were my girl 
   G          D    A   Bm  G 
If you were my girl
