D        G
When you hold me in the street
                         Em
And you kiss me on the dance floor
                     C
I wish that it could be like that
                                     G  D
Why can't it be like that, cause I'm yours


   G
We keep behind closed doors
                    Em
Every time I see you, I die a little more
                    C
Stolen moments that we steal as the curtain falls
                  G D
It'll never be enough

       G
It's obvious you're meant for me
                   Em
Every piece of you it just fits perfectly
                  C
Every second every thought I'm in so deep
                         G     D
But I'll never show it on my face

Am               G                   Am    D
But we know this, we got a love that is hopeless

CHORUS
            G
Why can't you hold me in the street?
                          Em
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
                     C
I wish that I could be like that
                                    G  D
Why can't we be like that? Cause I'm yours


                G
When you're with him, do you call his name, 
                         Em
Like you do when you're with me, Does it feel the same?
                         C
Would you leave if I was ready to settle down?
                    G       D
Or would you play it safe and stay
            
          A        G                  Am     D
Girl you know this, we got a love that is hopeless

CHORUS
           G
Why can't you hold me in the street?
                          Em
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
                    C
I wish that it could be like that
                                    G  D
Why can't we be like that? Cause I'm yours


            Em                        D    G
And nobody knows, I'm in love with someone's baby   (him)
         Am
I don't wanna hide us away   (her)
Em                            D    G
Tell the world about the love we making   (him)
Am                     C    D
I'm living for that day, Someday   (her)

CHORUS
      G
Why can't I hold you in the street?
                  Em
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
              C

                       G       D
Why can't we be like that? Cause I'm yours, I'm yours

          G
Why can't I say that I'm in love?
                        Em
I wanna shout it from the rooftops
                    C
I wish that it could be like that
                                    G  D
Why can't we be like that? Cause I'm yours


            G
Why cant we be like that?
                       Gadd9
Wish we could be like that
