Chorus:
C
Say hey, I'll be gone today, but I'll be back around the way.
F                               C
Seems like everywhere I go, the more I see the less I know,
        G   F             C
But I know one thing, that I love you.
   G          F            C
I love you, I love you, I love you.


Verse 1:
C
I've been a lot of places all around the way
C
I've seen a lot of joy, and I've seen a lot of pain
             F
But I don't want to write a love song for the world
       C
I just want to write a song about a boy and a girl


C
Junkies on the corner, always calling my name
C
And the kids on the corner playing ghetto games
         F
When I saw you getting down, girl, I hoped it was you
            G
And when I looked into your eyes, I knew it was true


Chorus:
C
Say hey, I'll be gone today, but I'll be back around the way.
F                               C
Seems like everywhere I go, the more I see the less I know,
        G   F                C
But I know one thing, that I love you.
   G          F            C
I love you, I love you, I love you.


Verse 2:
C
Now I'm not a highly metaphysical man
C
But I know when the stars are aligned you can
F
Bump into a person in the middle of the road
C
Look into their eyes, and you suddenly know
G                          F
Rocking in the dance hall, moving with you
C
Dancing in the night in the middle of June
G                 F
My momma told me don't lose you
C
'Cause the best luck I had was you


Chorus:
C
Say hey, I'll be gone today, but I'll be back around the way.

But I know one thing, that I love you -baby girl-
   G          F            C
I love you, I love you, I love you.
