Once in your life you find her

Someone that turns your heart around
    Bb                         E7sus4 E7  A             E/A A A/C#
And next thing you know you're clos - in' down the town
Dm7                        G7
Wake up and it's still with you
C                         F
Even though you left her way across town
Bb               E7sus4  E7  A                  E/A A A/C#
Wondering to yourself, "Hey, what've I found?"

Dm7                  G7
Arthur he does as he pleases
C                     F
All of his life, he's mastered choice
Bb                      E7sus4  E7    A         E/A A A/C#
Deep in his heart, he's just,   he's just a boy
Dm7                 G7
Living his life one day at a time
    C                    F
And showing himself a really good time
   Bb             E7sus4  E7  A              E/A A A/C#
Laughing about the way - they want him to be
