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