[A]
[E] [A]
When I see you on the street I lose my concentration
Just the thought that we might meet creates anticipation
Won't [Em] you look my way [D] once before you go
[G] And my eyes will say [Bm] what you ought to know
Well I've been [Am] thinking about you [C] day [D] and night
And [Am] I don't know if it'll work [D] out right
But somehow [Am] I think that it [D] just might if we [G] try
[F] [E]
[A] Faces come and faces go in circular rotation
But [E] something [A] yearns within to grow beyond infatuation
[Em] Won't you look my way [D] once before you go
[G] And my eyes will say [Bm] what you ought to know
[Am] Well you've got me standing deaf [D] and blind
[Am] Cause I see love is just a state [D] of mind
And who [Am] knows what it is that we [D] might find
If [G] we try
[Gm] You're walking [C] a different direction [Gm] from most people [C] I've met
[Am] You're giving [D] me signs of affection [Am] I don't [D] usually get
[Em] I don't want you [Bm] to pledge your future
[Am] The [D] future's not [G] yours to give
[Em] Just stand there [Bm] a little longer
[C] And [Bm] let [Am] me watch [F] while you [E] live
[A] Cause when I see you on the street I lose my concentration
And [E] just the [A] thought that we might meet creates anticipation
[Em] Won't you look my way once [D] before you go
And [G] my eyes will say [Bm] what you ought to know
Well [Am] I've been thinking about you day [D] and night
And [Am] I don't know if it'll [D] work out right
[Am] But somehow I think that it just [D] might if we [G] try
[F] [E] [Am] Somehow I think that it just [D] might if we [G] try
[Dm] [F] [E] Yes [Am] somehow I think that it just [D] might if [G] we try
