That’s (D5)when I start to re al ize what you (D)bring to my (G5)life.

(D)Damn, this guy can make me cry y y.

It’s so (D)con (A)ta (Bm)gious.

I (D)can not (D)get it out of my mind.

It’s so (D)out (A)ra (Bm)geous.

You (D)make me (D)feel so high

When They all say that you’re no (D)good for me,

but I’m too (G5)close to turn a (D)rou ou ound.

I’ll show (G5)them they don’t know (D)an y thing; I think I’ve (G5)got you fig ured (D)out.

So I (D)walk out in (G5)si lence.

That’s (D5)when I start to re al ize what you (D)bring to my (G5)life.
