[verse 1]
A
You got a smile so bright
D A
You know you could have been a candle
A
I'm holding you so tight
D A
You know you could have been a handle
D
The way you swept me off my feet
A
You know you could've been a broom
A
And baby you smell so sweet
D A
You know you could've been some perfume
[Chorus]
E D E
Well you could of been anything that you wanted to – I can tell
D A
The way you do the things you do – Alright!
D A
The way you do the things you do
[Verse 2]
A
As pretty as you are
D A
You know you could've been a flower
A
If good looks were minutes
D A
You know you could have been an hour
D
The way you stole my heart
A
You know you could have been a crook
A
And baby your so smart
D A
You know you could have been a school book
[Chorus]
E D E
Well you could of been anything that you wanted to – I can tell
D A
The way you do the things you do – Alright!
D A
The way you do the things you do
[Interlude]
