VERSE:
           Bm                   C
You are my weakness, you are my strength
          D                 C            G
Nothing I have in the world makes better sense
            F#                  G
Cause I?m a fish and you?re the sea

VERSE:
           Bm                      C
When we?re together or when we?re apart
                D                    C           G
There?s never a space in between the beat of our hearts
              F#                   G
Cause I?m the apple and you?re the tree

You are my woman, I am your man
             D                   C      G
Nothing else matters at all, now I understand
             F#                  G
That I?m the door and you?re the key

VERSE:
      Bm                     C
Every morning I wake in your smile
             D                         C            G
Feeling your breath on my face and the love in your eyes
                 F#                G
Cause you?re the honey and I?m the bee

CHORUS:
F#m          B       E   A  B
One day at a time is all we do
G#           C#m     F#m  G#     Dbm
