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


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


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


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

But I know one thing, that I love you.
   F          Eb            Bb
I love you, I love you, I love you.


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


Chorus:
Bb

But I know one thing, that I love you -baby girl-
   F          Eb            Bb
I love you, I love you, I love you.


           Gm
And I say, rocking in the dance, hall moving with you

I say, hey momma, hey momma, close to you

I say, hey, trippa, trippa, got to shoot
