G                           C 
You love me when it pleases you 
G                           C 
You want me when it's easy to do 
G                           C 
You hold me when you don't want anybody else to 
G                           D 
You love me when it pleases you 

Am 
I've been keeping it convenient 
G                        D 
For you to keep close to me 
Am 
I've been making it too easy 
G                        D 
For you to hang on loosely 

Am 
I've been holding on and dreaming on 
G                          D 
But you only come round to me 
Am                         G          D 
When it pleases you 
Am                         G          D 
When it pleases you 

I call you when I want to hear 
My voice whisper in your voice-mail's ear 
I think of you at the strangest times 
You've got me in the back of your mind 

I've been keeping it convenient 
For you to keep close to me 
I've been making it too easy 
For you to hang on loosely 

I've been holding on and dreaming on 
But you only come round to me 
When it pleases you 
When it pleases you 

Late at night when the stars come out 
I walk the roadside, see 'em turning round 
Look at one long enough you might see one fall 
Look at one for too long and you can't see it at all 

I've been keeping it convenient 
For you to keep close to me 
I've been making it too easy 
For you to hang on loosely 

I've been holding on and dreaming on 
But you only come round to me 
When it pleases you 
When it pleases you 

When it pleases you 
When it pleases you
