Intro: D G D G

D                             Dsus 
I watch the way he looks at you 
D
He don't see you like I do 
     G                               D
He never speaks the words I long to say 
D                             Dsus
He don't know that what he's got 
    D
Is everything I'll ever want 
G                                  A
I can't keep this inside one more day 


Chorus:
            G
If you were my girl 
    A                           D
My feet would never touch the ground 
            G
If you were my girl 
    A                               Bm   D
My heart would shout your name out loud 
          G
I could conquer the world 
A                    D
If you were my girl 


             D                            Dsus 
You're the prayer I pray when I'm on my knees 
     D 
The oxygen that lets me breathe 
     G                                  D
The flame that burns inside me all the time 
       D                     Dsus
Every note of a beautiful melody
     D
The perfect rhyme in poetry 
G                             A
Baby, you are everything but mine 


Chorus 2:
            G
If you were my girl 
    A                          D
My feet would never touch the ground 
            G
If you were my girl 
     A                              Bm    D
My heart would shout your name out loud 
          G             A
There's nothing that I could not do 
   Bm            E
If it was you I came home to 
         G
I could conquer the world 
A               D
If you were my girl 


C                              F
Baby, I swear this flame will burn eternally 
    Am                    F
So keep your eyes open, jump on in 
Dm7                    G       A
You will see what you need is me 
            G
If you were my girl 


Break:  G A D G A Bm D


         G             A
Oh, I'd never want to see you cry 
Bm                     E
You're with him and I don't know why 
        G
What a different world 
A               Bm    E
If you were my girl 
          G 
I would conquer the world 
A               D
If you were my girl
