[Verse 1]
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?

[Verse 2]
            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?

[Chorus 1]
                 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't see nothing else except for you and myself

[Verse 3]
   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?

[Verse 4]
             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

[Chorus 2]
            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       N.C.
More tears

[Verse 5]
          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
I'll go insane if you still claim we'll be friends

[Chorus 3]
       Am                              F
And I know you think I'm crazy and the world thinks it too
            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

[Verse 6]
               C         F
Oh, how can it be?
            C                         G
And does it really add up mathematically?
            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'll be?
