[D]Stand there like a [A]ghost
Shaking from the [G] rain (rain)
[D]She’ll open up the [A]door and say “Are you [G]insane?”
[D]Say it’s been a [A]long six [G] months
[D]And you were too [A] afraid to tell her what you [G] want.
And that’s how it [D] works.
[A]That’s how you get the [G]girl
And then you say
(Chorus)
[D]I want you for [A]worse or for better
[G]I would wait for ever and ever
[D]Broke your heart, I’ll [A] put it back together
[G]I would wait for ever and ever.
[D]And that’s how it [A] works
How you get the [G] girl, girl
[D]And that’s how it [A] works
How you get the [G]girl, girl.
[D]Remind her how we [A] used to [G]be, be
[D]With pictures in [A] frames
of kisses on [G] cheeks, cheeks
[D]Tell her how you must have [A] lost your mind
[D]When you left her all [A]alone
and never tell her [G] why, why.
And that’s how it [D] works [A]
That’s how you lost the [G] girl
And now you say
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
And [D] you [A] know [G]
That [D] I don’t [A] want you [G]to go.
[D] Remind me how we [A] used to [G] be
[D]Pictures in [A] frames of kisses on [G]cheeks
And say you want [D]me, [A] yeah.
And then you say
[D]I want you for [A] worse or for better
[G]I would wait for ever and ever
[D]Broke your heart, I’ll [A]put it back together
[G]I want you forever and ever.
[D]And that’s how it [A]works
How you get the [G]girl, girl
(That’s how it works)
[D]And that’s how it [A]works
How you get the [G]girl,(get the girl).
[D]And that’s how it [A]works
How you get the [G] girl, girl.
And that’s how it [D] works [A]
That’s how you’ve got the [G] girl.
