A    x02220    Dm   xx0231
C#m  x46654    F#m  244222
D    xx0232    E    022100

A                  C#m
Don't stray, don't ever go away 
  D            
I should be much too smart for this 
    Dm
You know it gets the better of me 

A               C#m  
Sometimes, when you and I collide 
  D                          Dm
I fall into an ocean of you, pull me out in time
      
             F#m           C#m
Don't let me drown, let me down 
         | D                 | E |
I say it's all because of you


VERSE2:

A    x02220    Dm   xx0231
C#m  x46654    F#m  244222
D    xx0232    E    022100

    A          C#m
And here I go, losing my control 
    D                             Dm
I'm practising your name so I can say it to your face 
           A              C#m
It doesn't seem right, to look you in the eye
    D
Let all the things you mean to me    
     Dm
Come tumbling out my mouth 
            F#m              C#m
Indeed it's time to tell you why
         | D              | E |
I say it's infinitely true.
 

CHORUS:

A  x02220    F#m  244222

A            E                    F#m         C#m | E |
  Say you'll stay, don't come and go like you do
A         E                   F#m            C#m
  Sway my way, yeah I need to know all about you


VERSE3:
Notes:
Play as for previous verses.

And there's no cure, and no way to be sure 
Why everything's turned inside out 
Instilling so much doubt 
It makes me so tired - I feel so uninspired 
My head is battling with my heart 
My logic has been torn apart 
And now it all turns sour 
Come sweeten every afternoon
 

[repeat CHORUS]  [x2]

   | D                 | E |
It's all because of you 
   | D                 | E |
It's all because of you


[Instrumental over | A | C#m | D | Dm |]

[rest on Dm one beat]


BRIDGE:

F#m  244222    D  xx0232
C#m  x46654    E  022100

F#m              C#m                D               E
Now it all turns sour, come sweeten every afternoon 
     F#m              C#m             D               E
It's time to tell you why, I say it's infinitely true
