[Intro]
A Bm A Bm
[Verse]
AYou're the kind of person who likes Bmgoing to the movies alone
AYou only drink cider and you're Bmaching to move out of home
F#m7I don't know much more about you
EBut it seems to me that you're my kind
A Bm A Bm
AI get so excited when I Bmhear that you are coming 'round
AIt used to surprise me when
BmYou'd say that you weren't homeward-bound
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m7I don't know much more about you
EBut it seems to me that you do
C#Things that people only do when Dthey think that they Dmlike me too
[Chorus]
(I want you)
AEven when you're out of town, Bmeven when we're up and down
(I want you)
AEven when I'm all alone, Bmeven when we're on the phone
(I want you)
F#mEven though you'll never know, Efrom the day you said hello
(I want you)
A Bm A Bm
[Verse 2]
AYou make me feel happy
BmI don't know what I do that keeps you around
AIf we were in high school
BmYou would have more friends than me, no doubt
[Pre-Chorus]

EBut it seems to me that you do
C#Things that people only do when Dthey think that they Dmlike me too
