CLast week I Fran downtown 
To see Gyou and tell Cyou I love(d) you 
But just beFfore I reached your Gdoor 
I stopped and Clooked above to 
AmPray to anyone who’d hear me 
FGetting the pluck 
To wish myself luck and sayG  
You’re the Creason to my rhyme 
And it’s a Amshame, no it’s a crime 
That I’ve not Ftold you that I love(d) you 
Cause I’ve Fmnever found the time,
You’re my Chappiness and sadness, 
You’re the Ammethod to my madness 
FNobody I’d rather be with, 
FmNobody I’d ever be withC  
CAnd through your Fbedroom window
GI saw you and Cyou saw me
The young man Flying on your bedG  
Was right where CI could clearly
AmSee him telling you what I had
FWanted to say, from the
Very first day we metG  
You’re the Creason to my rhyme 
And it’s a Amshame, no it’s a crime 
That I’ve not Ftold you that I love(d) you 
Cause I’ve Fmnever found the time,
You’re my Chappiness and sadness, 
You’re the Ammethod to my madness
FNobody I’d rather be with, 
FmNobody I’d ever be withC  
CSo two days Fpassed and then at Glast
I thought I’d Ctry and ring you
And see if you Fwere free, then Gmaybe we
Could Cgo to town and
AmGet some food and see a film you Fwanted to see,
And then afterwards we’d go Ghome
CYou said that sounded Fgreat,
But Gyou’d a date with Cthat young man who
I had seen Fpreviously
The time GI had come Cround to see you
AmAnd I don’t think I can hold this Fin any more
So I’m sorry if I bore you to Gdeath,
But you’re the Creason to my rhyme 
And it’s a Amshame, no it’s a crime 
That I’ve not Ftold you that I love(d) you 
Cause I’ve Fmnever found the time,
You’re my Chappiness and sadness, 
You’re the Ammethod to my madness 
FNobody I’d rather be with, 
FmNobody I’d ever,
You’re the Creason to my rhyme 
And it’s a Amshame, no it’s a crime 
That I’ve not Ftold you that I love(d) you 
Cause I’ve Fmnever found the time,
You’re my Chappiness and sadness, 
You’re the Ammethod to my madness 
FNobody I’d rather be with, 
FmNobody I’d ever be withC

Chords in this song · guitar

C F

Last week I ran downtown

G C

To see you and tell you I love(d) you

F G

But just before I reached your door

I stopped and looked above to

Pray to anyone who’d hear me

Getting the pluck

To wish myself luck and say

You’re the reason to my rhyme

And it’s a shame, no it’s a crime

That I’ve not told you that I love(d) you

Cause I’ve never found the time,

You’re my happiness and sadness,

You’re the method to my madness

Nobody I’d rather be with,

Fm C

Nobody I’d ever be with

C F

And through your bedroom window

G C

I saw you and you saw me

F G

The young man lying on your bed

Was right where I could clearly

See him telling you what I had

Wanted to say, from the

Very first day we met

You’re the reason to my rhyme

And it’s a shame, no it’s a crime

That I’ve not told you that I love(d) you

Cause I’ve never found the time,

You’re my happiness and sadness,

You’re the method to my madness

Nobody I’d rather be with,

Fm C

Nobody I’d ever be with

C F G

So two days passed and then at last

I thought I’d try and ring you

F G

And see if you were free, then maybe we

Could go to town and

Am F

Get some food and see a film you wanted to see,

And then afterwards we’d go home

C F

You said that sounded great,

G C

But you’d a date with that young man who

I had seen previously

G C

The time I had come round to see you

Am F

And I don’t think I can hold this in any more

So I’m sorry if I bore you to death,

But you’re the reason to my rhyme

And it’s a shame, no it’s a crime

That I’ve not told you that I love(d) you

Cause I’ve never found the time,

You’re my happiness and sadness,

You’re the method to my madness

Nobody I’d rather be with,

Nobody I’d ever,

You’re the reason to my rhyme

And it’s a shame, no it’s a crime

That I’ve not told you that I love(d) you

Cause I’ve never found the time,

You’re my happiness and sadness,

You’re the method to my madness

Nobody I’d rather be with,

Fm C

Nobody I’d ever be with
