Here is the Sara Watkins version of "When It Pleases You" by Daniel Wilson
Capo 2
GYou love me when it pleases Cyou
GYou want me when it's easy tCo do
GYou hold me when you don't wCant anybody else to
GYou love me when it pleases Dyou
AmI've been keeping it convenient
GFor you to keep close to Dme
AmI've been making it too easy
GFor you to hang on looselDy
AmI've been holding on and dreaming on
GBut you only come round to Dme
AmWhen it pleases youG  D  
AmWhen it pleases youG  D  
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
