Capo II *
D Em (D Em)
Do-doo-doo-wah shoo-be-doo-be
D Em (D Em)
Do-doo-doo-wah shoo-be-doo-be
How can you tell me how much you miss me?
When the last time I saw you, you wouldn't even kiss me
That rich guy you've been seeing
Must have put you down
So welcome back baby
To the poor side of town
e|-------------| B|-3-3---------| G|-----2-2-----| D|---------4-0-| A|-------------| E|-------------|2x (from capo)
To him you were nothing but a little plaything (little plaything)
Not much more than an overnight fling
To me you were the greatest thing this boy had ever found
And girl it's hard to find nice things
On the poor side of town
e|-------------| B|-3-3---------| G|-----2-2-----| D|---------4-0-| A|-------------| E|-------------|2x (from capo)
I can't blame you for trying
I'm trying to make it too
I've got one little hang up baby
I just can't make it without you
So tell me, are you gonna stay now? (gonna stay now)
Will you stand by me girl all the way now?
With you by my side
They can't keep us down
Together we can make it baby
From the poor side of town
e|-------------| B|-3-3---------| G|-----2-2-----| D|---------4-0-| A|-------------| E|-------------|2x (from capo)
(So tell me how much you love me)
(Come be near to me and say you need me now)
Oh, with you by my side
This world can't keep us down
Together we can make it baby
From the poor side of town
e|-------------| B|-3-3---------| G|-----2-2-----| D|---------4-0-| A|-------------| E|-------------|2x (from capo)
