VERSE 1:
A
You know, sometimes, I don't know why,
B/A Amaj7 B/A
But this whole town just seems so hopeless.
A B/A
I ain't really sure but it seems I remember the good times,
Amaj7 B/A
Were just a little bit more in focus.
A B/A
But when she puts her arms around me,
Amaj7 B/A
I can somehow rise above it.
A B/A
Yeah man when I got that little girl standing right by my side,
Amaj7 B/A
You know I can tell the whole wide world to shove it.
CHORUS:
E A E A
Hey here comes my girl! Here comes my girl!
F#m B
Yeah and she looks so right, she is all I need to-night.
Watch her walk!

A
Every now and then I get down to the end of a day,
B/A Amaj7 B/A
I'll just have to stop, ask myself, "What've I done?"
A B/A
It just seems so useless to have to work so hard,
Amaj7 B/A
And nothin' ever really seems to come from it.
A B/A
And then she looks me in the eye, says, "We gonna’ last forever?"
Amaj7 B/A
And man, you know I can't begin to doubt it.
A B/A
No, because this feels so good and so free and so right,
Amaj7 B/A
I know we ain't never gonna' change our minds about it.
CHORUS:
E A E A
Hey here comes my girl! Here comes my girl!
F#m B
Yeah and she looks so right, she is all I need to-night.
Watch her walk!

A
Yeah, every time it seems there ain't nothin' left no more.
B/A Amaj7 B/A
I find myself havin' to reach out and grab hold of somethin'.
A B/A
Yeah, I just catch myself wanderin', waitin', worryin',
Amaj7 B/A
About some silly little things that don't add up to nothin'.
A B/A
And then she looks me in the eye, says, "We gonna’ last forever?"
Amaj7 B/A
And man, you know I can't begin to doubt it.
A B/A
