INTRO
F#5 F#5 - E5 E5 - D5
F#5 F#5 - D5 D5 - A5

VERSE 1
A5      B5              D5    A5
I'm in love because I know you
And I'm sorry I don't show you
And if I find that you ain't by me
I'm afraid no one will know the things you see

PRE-CHORUS
D5               A5              D5              A5
How could you believe in someone sorry sad like me
D5         A5         F#5          E5
I know the deal and I thank you anyway
D5         A5                  D5               A5
And if you leave, you know I'm crawlin' at your feet
D5            A5            F#5             D5
You never get weak when I'm leanin' hard on you

D5-C#5-D5-C#5-D5-C#5

CHORUS 
F#5              E5                D5-C#5-D5-C#5-D5-C#5
And I guess it's just the way you are...
F#5              E5                D5-C#5-D5-C#5-D5-C#5
And I guess it's just the way you are...
F#5              E5                D5-C#5-D5-C#5-D5-C#5
And I guess it's just the way you are...
F#5              E5             D5
And I guess it's just the way you...are...

VERSE 2
And all the things that you don't show me
Like when you pretend that you don't know me
I wasted a dime and I can't call you
I'll spend a lifetime if I fall for you

PRE-CHORUS
D5               A5              D5              A5
How could you believe in someone sorry sad like me
D5         A5         F#5          E5
I know the deal and I thank you anyway
D5         A5                  D5               A5
And if you leave, you know I'm crawlin' at your feet
D5            A5            F#5             D5
You never get weak when I'm leanin' hard on you

CHORUS
F#5              E5                D5-C#5-D5-C#5-D5-C#5
And I guess it's just the way you are...
F#5              E5                D5-C#5-D5-C#5-D5-C#5
And I guess it's just the way you are...
F#5              E5                D5-C#5-D5-C#5-D5-C#5
And I guess it's just the way you are...
F#5              E5             D5
And I guess it's just the way you...are...
