one strum
I r[G]emember when we were five
A c[C]ouple of kids sitting side by side
On [G]a picture perfect day on the way
C
to school
Alo[G]ng came Brendon Jimmy James
Wit[C]h his golden hair and his angel face
He [G]stole my brand new bike
C
and my girlfriend too
(He stole you too)
G D C
All of the nights that I've spent alone
G D C
Am I the dog who doesn't get the bone
Chorus:
T[G]ell me what I gotta do
Gotta [D]walk across the wire for you
Gotta [C]catch a bullet in my teeth
Do pus[G]hups in the desert heat
Tame a[G] lion, get black and blue
From b[D]oxing with a kangaroo
Still [C]you never notice what it is I'm going through
H[G]ow do I get to be the g[D]uy who gets to be with [C]you
G
How do I get to be with you
Mi[G]dnight strikes and the line is long
Fo[C]r the monster movie marathon
Wh[G]en I get the guts to ask you to the prom
Th[C]anks but no you say to me
'C[G]ause Captain Dan on the football team
Is[C] so good-lookin and he's twice as strong
(he's twice as strong)
G D C
All of the days that I've dreamed of love
G D C
My time has come now - I've dreamed enough
Chorus:
T[G]ell me what I gotta do
Gotta [D]walk across the wire for you
Gotta [C]catch a bullet in my teeth
Do pus[G]hups in the desert heat
Tame a[G] lion, get black and blue

Still [C]you never notice what it is I'm going through
H[G]ow do I get to be the g[D]uy who gets to be with [C]you
G
How do I get to be with you
C G
I can see us in the future
C
Girl in the picture
G
Where are you now
C G
Remember when you see me waving
C
It's not 'cause I'm waving
D
You're watching me drown
G D C
All of the nights that I've spent alone
G D C
Why can't you throw this dog a bone
Chorus:
T[G]ell me what I gotta do
Gotta [D]walk across the wire for you
Gotta [C]catch a bullet in my teeth
Do pus[G]hups in the desert heat
Tame a[G] lion, get black and blue
From b[D]oxing with a kangaroo
Still [C]you never notice what it is I'm going through
H[G]ow do I get to be the g[D]uy who gets to be with [C]you
S[C]hoot myself into outer space
L[C]ose the cops in a getaway chase
H[G]ow do I get to be the g[D]uy who gets to be with [C]you
S[C]ave a baby in a burning fire
B[C]e the man that you desire
H[G]ow do I get to be the g[D]uy who gets to be with y[C]ou

How do I get to be with you
