Capo 3.
[D] [A] [G]
[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.
