Verse: (Fmaj7-G-Am7-Cmaj7 if u wanna play it in chords)
There's somethin' bout the way you looked at me.
Made me think for a moment, that maybe we were meant to be.
Livin our lives seperately.
And its strange that things change but not me wanting you so
desperately
E
Ohhhh

Chorus:
F       G           Cmaj7   Am7
I cannot ignore it
F      G              Cmaj7         Am7
I keep givin in but I should know better
                F            G              Cmaj7     Am7
Cause there was something bout the way you looked at me
F                           G           
And it's strange that things change
           Cmaj7       Am7
But not me wanting you so

Verse
Desperatley

You looked my way and said you frustrate me
Like your thinkin of lines and times when you and I were you and me
We took our chance out on the street
And we missed our chance and chances are

E
It won't be coming back to me

Chorus
F       G           Cmaj7   Am7
I cannot ignore it
F      G              Cmaj7         Am7
I keep givin in but I should know better
                F            G              Cmaj7     Am7
Cause there was something bout the way you looked at me
F                           G           
And it's strange that things change
           E
but not me wanting you so....
