Intro: C 

C 
I wake with the new day 

C 
Turn my head to where you'd be  

        F 
And you could be 

       C 
If you want me 

C 
I shake for my own sake 

C 
My heart tells me you'll make a mistake 

       F 
If you stay home 

        C 
And you don't phone 

G             Am 
Don't worry baby  

C              F 
Everything'll be okay 

G                 C     F 
Back in my loving arms

Back in my loving arms
