                      C 
I am the one that you want

You don't love me like anyone 

           G      C

My love 
   A 
My love 
   A               G 
My love.. So I say 
                       C

I won't love you like anyone 
                        C     D     
I won't love you like anyone 

                   C 
And we know it's hard 
                                D 
When we're caught in the middle 
                   C 
And we've got this far 
                        D 
Caught up in our bubble 
                C 
So if I seem inspired 
                       D 
Or my laughter doubles 
                         C                               G       Bm       Am       C 
It's because I'm feeling every little movement that you make 

G                   D 
   You really took something 
Am                    C 
   As I cannot make a sound   x5 

G                   D 
   You really took something 
Am                    Cm 
   As I cannot make a sound 

   Bm 
at all    
   A 
at all 
   G 
at all
