G 
I say hey, I'll be gone today, but I'll be back around the way. 
C                               G 
Seems like everywhere I go, the more I see the less I know, 
   Am       D                 G 
But I know one thing, that I love you. 
   Am          D           G 
I love you, I love you, I love you. 

Verse 1: 

G 
I've been a lot of places all around the way 
C			   G 
I've seen a lot of joy, and I've seen a lot of pain 
G 
But I don't want to write a love song for the world 
C			   G 
I just want to write a song about a boy and a girl 

G 
Junkies on the corner, always calling my name 
C			G 
And the kids on the corner playing ghetto games 
G 
When I saw you getting down, girl, I hoped it was you 
C			   G 
And when I looked into your eyes, I knew it was true 

 

G 
Say hey, I'll be gone today, but I'll be back around the way. 
C                               G

But I know one thing, that I love you. 
   Am          D           G 
I love you, I love you, I love you. 

Verse 2: 

G 
Now I'm not a highly metaphysical man 
C		    G 
But I know when the stars are aligned you can 
G 
Bump into a person in the middle of the road 
C		     G 
Look into their eyes, and you suddenly know 

G 
Rocking in the dance hall, moving with you 
C		    G 
Dancing in the night in the middle of June 
G 
My momma told me don't lose you 
C		G 
'Cause the best luck I had was you 

G 
I say hey, I'll be gone today, but I'll be back around the way.
