verse 1 

G            C     D 
I know why I go to work 
    G                C     D 
And I know sometimes I'm a jerk 
    G                C 
But I can't tell you why 
D      G 
I'm in love. 
G                    C     D 
I'll take lunch with my co-workers 
    G                 C     D 
But after work I just go berserkers 
    G                 C 
Yet I can't tell them why 
D      G 
I'm in love. 


(stay on G) 
 

G           Em 
Sundays and Saturdays 
C              D 
Sitting in the park  
          G 
Or in the dark 
          Em 
Or at the beach 
C 
In the foothills 
D                     C               D 
My thoughts they keep straying out of reach 
C                D 
Say it's left or say it's right 
G               Em 
Say it's day or say it's night 
      C                D 
Still I can't tell you why 
       G 
I'm in love. 


verse 2 

G             C      D 
I wake up and then I jerk 
   G               C        D 
My brain awake but it won't work 
     G 
Well enough to say why 
C   D  G    
I'm in love. 
G               C      D 
So I get up and then I jerk 
    G                        C     D 
And then I get up and then I go to work 
    G 
But I can't say why  
C   D  G    
I'm in love. 


G           Em 
Holidays or happy days 
C              D 
Sitting in the park  
          G 
Or in the dark 
          Em 
Or at the beach 
C 
In the foothills 
D                     C              D 
My thoughts they keep staying out of reach 
C                 D 
Say it's wrong or say it's right 
G             Em 
Say we may or say we might 
      C                D 
Still I can't tell you why 
       G 
I'm in love. 

Bridge 

G             C        D 
I know I will feel the hurt 
    G              C       D 
And I know that it doesn't hurt 
    G               C 
And I know you know that 
D      G 
I'm in love 


Outro 

G              C     D 
I get up and I go to work 
    G                 C         D 
And I can say that my boss is a jerk 
    G                C 
But I can't tell you why 
D      G 
I'm in love.
