[Bridge]

D
I'll walk down the mall, stand over by the wall
B7
Where I can see it all, find out who ya' call
D
Lead you to the supermarket check out some,
B7 
specials and rap, then get lost in the crowd

One way or another I'm gonna get ya'
I'll get ya'
I'll get ya', get ya', get ya', get ya'
Where I can see it all, find out who ya' call
