What's so maybe about...What's so maybe about...What's so maybe
D E
about...Katie?
A D E A D E
What's the use in hesitating? Can't you see that Katie's waiting?
A D E A D E

I don't know what the fuss is all about just take it slow, it's not like you
D D E A D D
can't live without her to and fro, if you've got a shred of doubt then it's

not worth it
CHORUS (x2)
A D E A D
Can't you see her with her arms wide open? she's everything that you've
E A D E A
been hoping for. Forever's not so long, stop moping, She's got a daughter
D E
and you're just not coping.
D E A D D E A
Do you know everyone you ever swore you'd love for life? I don't know them
D D E A D D E
anymore I know their names I'd recognize them on the street and I don't love
them...
