 C                  F 
 How, how can it be? 
            C                              G 
 How can it be you still love him and not me? 
         C                         F 
 Does it really add up mathematically?  
 C                  G 
 How, how can it be? 


             C                              F 
 Because I'm thinking of how I made you laugh 
         C                               G 
 And I'm thinking of the love that we had 
         C                         F 
 And I'm saying it's a matter of time 
         C                            G 
 How long 'till you remember you're mine? 


                  Am                                           F 
 It don't make it true just 'cause it's where you've been sighted 
                  Am                                     F 
 It don't make it true just 'cause it's what you've decided 
           C               F               G               F  
 Oh it's the logic that's wrong, why are you there for so long? 
            C              F            G           F 
 I just can see nothing else except for you and myself 


    C                 F  
 So How, how can it be? 
            C                              G 
 How can it be you still love him and not me? 
         C                          F 
 Does it really make sense logically? 
             C                           G 
 And does it really make you happy to see 
  

              C                              F 
 That now I'm with someone beautiful and cool 
         C                                G 
 And she seems to think the world of me too 
           C                                 F 
 And we're laughing as we stroll up the street 
         C                                G 
 Until I take her to that joint where I eat 
  

             Am                         F  
 But why are you here now in my restaurant 
            Am                            F 
 And you're with the only one that you want 
      C               F          G              F 
 So I won't be eating here or anywhere else I fear 
         C                 F            G              F 
 And the girl that's on my arm is gonna have to see tears 
       G       (stop) 
 More tears 


           C                                 F 
 Because I see your face and it's still my own 
           C                                   G 
 How can I ever think it's something that's gone? 
               C                                    F    
 It's just the fact that we're a match that makes sense 
             C                                     G 
 Although insane if you still claim we'll be friends 


        Am                              F  
 And I know you think I'm crazy and the world makes it two 
            Am                            F  
 But I'm not crazy it's just dumb to be alive without you 
            C                   F                  G            F 
 I know you love his looks, you love his love, you love his family    
             C            F            G              F 
 But is that really any reason to love him instead of me 
         G  
 I can't see 


               C         F  
 Oh how can it be? 	 
             C                         G 
 And does it really add up mathematicaly? 
             C                       F 
 Or should I say it more emphatically? 
      C                     G 
 Consistently or sporadically? 
            C               F             C    G  C 
 Oh is this really just the way it will be?
