[D] [G#] [A] [E] [A] [D]
[E] [A] [E] [A]
Don't stray, [C#m] don't ever go away
[D] I should be much too smart for this
You know it gets the [G] better [A] of me sometimes
[C#m] When you and I collide, [D]
I fall into an ocean [Em] of you
Pull me out in time, don't [F#m] let me drown
Let [C#m] me down, I say [D] it's all because of [E] you
[A] You hear I go, [C#m] losing my control
[D] I'm practicing [E] your name so [D] I can say it to your [Em] face
It [A] doesn't seem right [C#m] to look you in the [D] eye
Let all the [G] things you mean to [Em] me
Come tumbling out my mouth in [D] beaded [F#m] time
Telling [C#m] you I'm [A] saying [D]
it's infinitely [E] true
[A] Stay [E] and stay, won't come [F#m]
anymore [C#m] like you do
[Em] [A]
Sway my [E] way, yeah I need [F#m] to know [A] all about [Em] you
[A] Oh there's no cure, [C#m] no way to be [D] sure
Why everything's turned inside out
It's stealing so much [G] doubt, [A] it makes me so tired
[C#m] I feel so [D] uninspired, my [G] head is battling with my [E] heart
My logic has been torn [D] apart and now [F#m] it all [C#m] turns sour
Come [A] sweet [D] sin, my every [A] [E] afternoon
[A]
Stay [C#m] and stay, won't come [F#m]
anymore like [A] you do
[E] [A]
Sway my [E] way, yeah I need [F#m] to know [A] all about [E] you
[A]
Stay [E] and stay, won't come [F#m] anymore like [A] you [E] do
[A]
Sway my [E] way, yeah I need [F#m] to know all [A] about [C#m] you
[D] It's all because of [E] you
[A] It's [D]
all because of [A] [E] you
[A]
[D] [A] Now it all turns [C#m] sour
Come [A] sweet [D] sin, my every [A] afternoon
It's [E] [A] [F#m]
time I'm telling [C#m] you why [A] I'm saying [D] it's infinitely [E] true
[A]
Stay [E] and stay, won't come [F#m]
anymore like [A] you do
[E] Sway [A]
my [E] way, yeah I need [F#m] to know all [A] about [E] you
[A]
Stay and stay, won't come [F#m] anymore like [A] you do
[E] Sway [A]
my way, yeah I need [F#m] to know all [A] about you
[E] [D] It's all because of [Em] you
[D] It's all because [Bm] of you
[D] It's all because of [Em] you
