D             G             F#m     Bm 
You came along  unexpectedly 
Em                        A               D       G      A 
I was doing fine in my little world 
D                                      G           
Oh baby please don’t get me wrong 
F#m                               Bm 
‘Cause I’m not complaining 
Em                                   A7 
But you see  you got my mind spinning 


G 
Why can’t it be 
F#m                               Bm   
Why can’t it be the two of us 
G                                   F#m     Bm 
Why can’t we be lovers  only friends 
Em                             F#m                         G 
You came along at the wrong place  at the wrong time 
A          D     G    A 
Or was it me 

D             G             F#m     Bm 
Baby I dream of you every minute 
Em                        A 
You’re in my dreams 
                   D 
You’re always in it 

D                G 
That’s the only place I know 
F#m                      Bm 
Where you could be mine 
           Em F#m 
And I’m yours (baby I’m yours) 
                 G    A7 
But only ’til I wake up 

Just repeat 
Refrain
