Capo 2nd
 
 G   
When you hold me in the street 
                            Em   
And you kiss me on the dance floor 
                       C  
I wish that it could be like that 
                                        G  D  
Why can't it be like that, cause I'm yours 
 
    G  
We keep behind closed doors 
                       Em  
Every time I see you, I die a little more 
                        C   
Stolen moments that we steal as the curtain falls 
                    G D  
It'll never be enough 
 
        G  
It's obvious you're meant for me 
                        Em  
Every piece of you it just fits perfectly 
                     C  
Every second every thought I'm in so deep 
                          G     D  
But I'll never show it on my face 
 
 Am                   G                      Am  D  
But we know this, we got a love that is hopeless 
 
CHORUS:
             G  
Why can't you hold me in the street? 
                             Em  
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor? 
                      C  
I wish that I could be like that 
                                      G  D  
Why can't we be like that? Cause I'm yours 
 
                   G  
When you’re with him, do you call his name,  
                              Em  
Like you do when you’re with me, Does it feel the same? 
                          C  
Would you leave if I was ready to settle down? 
                       G          D  
Or would you play it safe and stay 
             
            A           G                       Am  D  
Girl you know this, we got a love that is hopeless

              Em                          D          G  
And nobody knows, I’m in love with someone’s baby   (him) 
         Am  
I don’t wanna hide us away   (her) 
 Em                               D          G  
Tell the world about the love we making   (him) 
 Am                       C          D  
I’m living for that day, Someday   (her)
