D


[Verse 1]
G
Regular morning, went to get my mail
Cmaj7
Opened the envelope to read my bills
Em
Now I'm standing in the lobby all by myself
D
I see the front door open and a new female, I’m like
G
Who is that girl right there? (Right there)
Cmaj7
Do she got a man that cares? (Oh-oh)
Em
Maybe I can be that guy (Yea)
D
We'll never know unless we give it a try (Yea, yea, yea)


[Pre-Chorus]
Am
Something I would work for
Bm
She won't have to work, no
Cmaj7
Only if she gave me one night
Cm
I took the elevator up
Bm
Butterflies in my gut
D
I’ll do better when I see her next time, 'cause


[Chorus]
G
Got a thing for the girl next door
Cmaj7
She got off the elevator on the third floor
Em
Maybe I should ask her name 'cause
D
I don't wanna be no stranger
G
Got a thing for the girl next door
Cmaj7
I'm in 303, she's in 304
Em
She's got the flame that I'm yearning for
D
I got a thing for the girl next door
G
I gotta, I gotta, I gotta
Cmaj7
I got a thing for the girl next door
Em
I gotta, I gotta, I gotta
D
I got a thing for the girl next door


[Verse 2]
G
Seven AM and she rings my bell
Cmaj7
Look through the door and it’s her right there
Em
I could be dreaming so I pinch myself
D
That’s when she tells me she needs my help, I'm like
G
She know I’m the man 'round here (I'm the man 'round here)
Cmaj7
And I can be the man that cares (I can be the man)
Em
Baby, I can be that guy (Yea)
D
We’ll never know unless we give it a try (Yea, yea, yea)


[Pre-Chorus]
Am7
Something I would work for
Bm
She won't have to work, no
Cmaj7
Only if she gave me one night
Am
I took the elevator up
Bm
Butterflies in my gut
D
I'll do better when I see her next time, 'cause


[Chorus]
G
Got a thing for the girl next door
Cmaj7
She got off the elevator on the third floor (Third floor)
Em
Maybe I should ask her name 'cause
D
I don't wanna be no stranger
G
Got a thing for the girl next door
Cmaj7
I'm in 303, she's in 304
Em
It was a dream but it ain't no more
D
'Cause now I'm with the girl next door
G                           Cmaj7
I gotta, I gotta, I gotta
Em
I got a thing with the girl next door
D                                 G
I got a thing with the girl next door
