Leyla

You were only [C]17

Lookin' at your [Em]window screen

Sweetest girl I've [Am]ever seen

Straight up from a [G]project dream

You were on the [C]second floor

I was right across [Em]from you

Two different [Am]sides of war

Kinda like a [G]west side story, now

 

[C]Leyla, I am in love with you, [Em]Leyla

I'm comin' up any [Am]day now

[G]So bust that window and come with me

[C]Leyla, get all your stuff and we'll [Em]break out

Baby I know what they'll [Am]say now

[G]But I want you anyway

[C] [Em] [Am]

[G]But I want you anyway

[C] [Em] [Am]

[G]But I want you anyway

 

Now we've turned [C]23

You've moved across [Em]town from me

Our friends and [Am]family, wouldn't let us [G]be happy

I hear you're [C]married now

Hear it ain't [Em]working out

But they can't [Am]shut us down

Leyla just [G]tell me how and I'll be there

[F]You are a goddess, I want you to [G]know (oh-oh-oh-oh)

[Am]I'll never forget you, I'll nerver let [Em]go

Year, I'll be comming go get [C]you
