[Verse 1]
CMy heart feels funny, when I'm with Fyou
CI can't help but worry, I'm not being Ftrue
GBecause my heart's stuck on a Fgirl
That don't love him no Cmore
Why do I Gbeg for her Flove like a Cchore?
[Verse ]2
CBecause I see her eyes in the trees I Fpass
CI can feel her skin in the wind that is my bodFy's cast
But her Gheart loves a new Fboy - I don't know his Cname
I'm caught Gup on our Fold dreams - it's such a Cshame
[Pre-Chorus]
Set me Ffree from these Cpre-conGceived notions
Let my Fheart take Cpart in loves Gocean
[Chorus]
1 then F2, 3 then C4 pick my Gheart up off the floor
5 then F6, 7, C8 - am I too Glate?
1 then F2, 3 then C4 its pretty Gdarn sore
5 then F6, 7, C8 - set it Gstraight. Oh set it Fstraight. Oh set me Cstraight.
[Verse 3]
CMy mamma says be patient - it's not in my Fblood
CSo I write about her; about Four love
In Ghopes she'll hear a Fsong and call my Cname
She'll hold me Gtight, tell me Fshe's proud of how far we Ccame
[Pre-Chorus]
Set me Ffree from these Cpre-conGceived notions
Let my Fheart take Cpart in loveGs ocean
[Chorus]
1 then F2, 3 then C4 pick my Gheart up off the floor
5 then F6, 7, C8 - am I too Glate?
1 then F2, 3 then C4 its pretty Gdarn sore
5 then F6, 7, C8 - set it Gstraight. Oh set it Fstraight. Oh set me Cstraight.
