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
