A  C  D
yeah! oh oh oh oh!


[Verse 1]
   A                 D
He sends a friend to ask me if I'm interested
  A                            D
I see you coming my way with a smile
          A                                           D 
You say, "he's the guy, you caught his eye, but he's afraid to come over;
                      A                             D
He's a little shy, so why don't you come talk for a while?"


[Pre-Chorus]
    C          D                A               
But I see your smile, baby, the messenger may take the prize
    C           D          E
And you see the look in my eyes


[Chorus]
                   A      C
I'd rather be with you, baby
    D                         E
You know what you're doing to me
      A                   C             D              E
Yeah, you're the one, the only one that sets it all on fire
      A      C  D                          E
Yeah, you, baby, and I can see you want to be with me
              C                       D
And yeah, you know what I'm saying is true
                   A   C D
I'd rather be with you


[Verse 2]
     A
It's you and me
                                    D
But then you call him over and your buddy makes three
A                               D
I know you're just trying to do right
  A                                           D
A glance, a touch, trying not to stare just a little too much
A                        D
Baby, it's impossible to fight


[Pre-Chorus]
C         D                A
Best of intentions, do you really wanna give me away?
C              D         E
I'll take this moment to say


[Chorus]
                   A      C
I'd rather be with you, baby
    D                         E
You know what you're doing to me
      A                   C             D              E
Yeah, you're the one, the only one that sets it all on fire
      A      C  D                          E
Yeah, you, baby, and I can see you want to be with me
              C                       D
And yeah, you know what I'm saying is true
                   A
I'd rather be with you
                   C      D
I'd rather be with you, oh
                   C      D
I'd rather be with you, yeah
                   C      D
I'd rather be with you, oh, oh


[Bridge]
    A         C           D
And tell your friend that I'm not really interested
A                C                 D
There is nothing more that you can do


[Chorus]
                   A      C
I'd rather be with you, baby
    D                         E
You know what you're doing to me
      A                   C             D              E
Yeah, you're the one, the only one that sets it all on fire
      A      C  D                          E
Yeah, you, baby, and I can see you want to be with me
              C                       D
And yeah, you know what I'm saying is true
          C                       D
Yeah, you know what I'm saying is true
          C                       D
Yeah, you know what I'm saying is true
                   A
I'd rather be with you


[Outro]
C     D     E              A          
Yeah, yeah, oh, I'd rather be, I'd rather be,
C           D    E       A    
yeah, yeah, wow! oh, oh, oh!
C                  D   E
I'd rather be with you oh!
              C                       D
And yeah, you know what I'm saying is true
                   A
I'd rather be with you
