Yeah I know, he's been a good friend of mine
      D      A         Bm               G     A     D
But lately somethin's changed, it ain't hard to define
         D     A       Bm            G    A       D
Jessie's got himself a girl, and I wanna make her mine
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
          D             A         Bm     G    A    D
And she's watchin' him with those eyes

And she's lovin' him with that body, I just know it
          D          A      Bm     G        A         D
And he's holdin' her in his arms, late late at night
