lyrics

D G A D
I like the idea of you, the idea seems good
D G A D
Thought I’d never love again, now I think I could
D G A D D7
I’ve seen heartbreak a hundred times, I know heartbreak is real
D G A D
Still I like the idea of you and I like how that feels

It looks good on paper, it reads like a song
But the most famous love stories are the ones that go wrong
I thought I’d learned my lesson, when those stories rang true
Is this one of those stories, the idea of you.

G A D
I know exactly what this feels like
G A Bm
Why is it different every time
G A D
I don’t know what my heart will heal like
E A
I’m not sure if the choice is mine

Still I like the idea of you. You’ve given me hope
I’m a man on a mission, given just enough rope
Still when given a chance at it, how could I pass it by
I still see the romance in it, If you have to ask why
G A
I like the idea of you
Bm D
I like the idea of you
G A D
I like the idea of you, so I’m willing to try.
