Check me out          I'm losing control
                 G
I wanna rock and Roll
    Am                        C
But everything I planned just slips right through my hands
      D     C    G      C                      G      C
And I don't know why            Hey I'm a nice guy
                G
I wanna take it easy baby
    Am                     C
But every time I start  My world falls apart
      D     C    G
And I don't know why

The world is feeling            like it's passing me by
            (I don't know why)                      (I don't know why)
    G*    F#*  Em             D     C    G    
I'm fixing to  lose it  But I don't know why

                G
I wanna be your lover baby.
Am               C
Everything I say comes out the wrong way
      D     C    G     C                           G         C      
and I don't know why.      So  I guess I'll let it slide by
                G
I wanna take it slowy honey.
    Am                   C
I'm feeling like a fake, every move I make
      D     C    G
And I don't know why

    Am                      D     C       D     C

I don't know why
