[G]Ah! Here we go

[F]

[Verse 2]
There [G]once was a time and
there once was a way
We [C]had somethin' going
[D]and to my dismay
At[G]tention to me seemed to drift
though I don't know where
[C]

[Verse 3]
[D][F]
And [G]when we're alone seems
there's nothing to say
I [C]bring up the topic you [D]push it away
[G]You say that you do but I think
it's just you don't [C]care
Why [D]do I feel you're using

[Interlude 2]
me?
[G][C][D]
[G][C][D][G][F]

[Verse 4]
[G]Are we an item or are we just two?
I [C]need some commitments' all
[D]I ask of you
Your [G]lifestyle can change
Don't be afraid what you
think's in store
[C]

[Verse 5]
[D][F]
I [G]know what's on your mind you've
got lots to lose
[C]Your shallow acquaintances
[D]what's there to choose
You [G]won't get too deep even
though I'm worth so much [C]more
So [D]think about it [G]carefully

[Verse 6]
[Am]Smile for the while and let's [D]be jolly
[Bdim]We shouldn't be so melancholy[E]
[Am]Come along and share the good times while we [Eb]can[C]
[G]

[Verse 7]
(Go! Rock!) Do you want to hustle?
(Freak, that's right) Do you
want to salsa?

[Verse 8]
(That's right! Rock!) Do you
want to hustle?
(Freak, that's right,
rock!) Do you want to salsa?

[Verse 9]
If [G]that's how you want it,
that's how it'll be
There's [C]no use in tryin'
or [D]making you see
That [G]love don't come easy you don't
know what it's about
[C]

[Verse 10]
[D][F]
To [G]get things together won't
take any pain
[C]Don't need to see, hear,
from you [D]never again
From [G]this day on lesson learned
no more games count me out
[C]And you[D] know what I talk about
[G]Smile

[Verse 11]
[Am]for the while
and let's [D]be jolly
[Bdim]We shouldn't be so melancholy[E]
[Am]Come along and share the good
times while we can

[Verse 12]
I [G]know now is
the time that I went to find [C]something [D]new
You [G]know it's your crime that

[Verse 13]
I'm out to find someone too
[C]Ohh[D],[G]
[G]yea[C]h
