[Verse]
          D
I used to kiss Maxine through the front door screen
G                      D
Standin' on her mama's steps
And if her daddy hadn't come along and run me off
G                     D
I know I'd have never left
       Bm                           F#7
It's a cryin' shame but that's they way it was
G                         A
Something always there to separate us

       G                   D
Well I tried not to let it show
    G                  D
But everyone seemed to know
                      Bm
There's something bet ween
A          D
Me and Max ine

[Chorus] x2
            D
She used to wave at me from across the street
            G                    D
Through her bedroom window every night
She was almost close enough for me to touch
    G                         D
But I still couldn't hold her tight
       Bm                  F#7
That's how it's been right from the start
G                         A
Always something there to keep us apart

[Verse]
Bm                           D
All the things that came bet ween us
G                 D
Couldn't change a thing
             Bm
Now we're to gether
                     D
And that's how we're gonna stay
                     Bm
'Cause our love just grows
         G               A
A little more with every day

[Outro]
       G                   D
No I'm never gonna let her go
       G             D
'Cause in my heart I know
                      Bm   A
There's something bet ween
     G                        D
Oh I just want to hold her cl ose
       G             D
'Cause in my heart I know
                      Bm   A
There's something bet ween
                      Bm   A
There's something bet ween
                      Bm
There's something bet ween
A          D
