C majorC           E minorEm
When I look at you

               A minorAm
Oh, I don't know what's real

         DmDm
Once in a while

            C majorC
And you make me laugh

              E minorEm
And I'll see you tomorrow

            C majorC
And it won't be long

         DmDm
Once in a while

           C majorC (hold over next line)
Then you take me down


Then you walk away

Cool little bass line:

I can't forget it, no
