Tried my best to place the chord changes where they occur in the recording but they 
don't always change on a word (sometimes between or after a word). Listen to the recording 
for the best timing between chord changes :)

Intro:
G    C    D    Em7
G    C    D    Em7

G              C(add2)   D
There's a boy      I know
               G         C(add2)   D
He's the one I dream of
        G   C(add2)  D
Looks into        my eyes
                G           C(add2)   D
Takes me to the clouds above
       G       C(add2)  D
Ooh, I lose control
              G          C(add2)   D
Can't seem to get enough
           G   C(add2)   D
When I wake     from dreaming
              G           C(add2)  D
Tell me is it really love

G              G/B
    How will I know?
                   Am7
(Girl, trust your feelings)
             C
How will I know?
G               G/B
    How will I know?
               Am7
(Love can be deceiving)
           C  G/B  C  D
How will I know?

G             C       D         Em7      G
   How will I know if he really loves me
        C           D  G/D  D     G/D
I say a prayer with every heart beat
          C    D           Em7   G
I fall in love whenever we meet
           C             D    G/D   D     G/D
I'm asking you cause you know about these things

G          C       D             Em7    G
How will I know if he's thinking of me
        C              D   G/D  D     G/D
I try to phone but I'm too shy (Can't speak)
           C       D         Em7   G
Falling in love is so bitter sweet
             C             D      G/D   D   G
This love is strong why do I feel weak

                 C(add2)  D
Oh, wake me, I'm shaking
               G            C(add2)  D
Wish I had you near me now
             G  C(add2)         D
Said there's no       mistaking
               G           C(add2)  D
What I feel is really love

    G                 G/B

If he loves me, if he loves me not
      Am   G/A       C      G/C     D
