Intro: Dsus2/G Dsus2/A Dsus2/B Dsus2/C#
Dsus2/G Dsus2/A
Though I've tried before to tell her
Dsus2/B Dsus2/C#
of the feelings I have for her
Dsus2/G Dsus2/A Dsus2/B Dsus2/C#
in my heart
Dsus2/G Dsus2/A
Everytime that I come near her
Dsus2/B Dsus2/C#
I just loose my nerves as I've done
D A4 D A4 D A4 D (stop)
from the start
A D
Every little thing she does is magic
A D
Every little thing just turns me on
A D
Even though my love before was tragic
A Dsus2/Bb
now I know my love for her goes on 
Dsus2/C Dsus2/G Dsus2/A Dsus2/B Dsus2/C#
Do I have to tell the story
of a thousand rainy days
since we first met
It's a big enough umbrella
but it's always me who ends up
getting wet
A D
Every little thing she does is magic
A D
Every little thing just turns me on
A D
Even though my love before was tragic
A Dsus2/Bb Dsus2/F Dsus2/Bb Dsus2/F
now I know my love for her goes on
Dsus2/Bb Dsus2/A Dsus2/G Dsus2/A
I resolve to call her up a thousand times a day
Dsus2/G Dsus2/A Dsus2/Bb Dsus2/A
And ask her if she'll marry me in some old fashioned way
D9/Bb D9/C
But my silent fears have gripped me
D9/Bb D9/C
Long before I reach the phone
D9/Bb D9/C
Long before my tongue has tripped me
D9/Bb D9/C D A4 D A4 D A4 D (stop)
Must I always be alone?
Full
key step up
Half
key step up
Half
key step down
Full
key step down
