Cause Cmaybe your loveable, and Dmaybe your my snowflake,
and your Geyes turn from green to grey, 
in the winter I'll Chold you in a cold place.
And Cyou should never cut your hair, 
cause I Dlove the way you flick it off your Gshoulder, (mmmCm)
And Cyou will never know, just how Dbeautiful you are to me,G  C  
but Cmaybe I'm just in love when you Dwake me up.G

GAnd Would you ever feel guilty? If you did the same to me.
CWould you make me a cup of tea, Dto open my eyes in the right way?
GAnd I know you love shrek, 'cause we've watched it twelve times.
CBut, maybe you're hoping for a Dfairy-tale to, but if your GDVD breaks today,

CAnd I'll make you a heart pendant, Dwith a pebble held in my hand.
GAnd I'll carve it like a necklace, so the heart falls where your chest is,
CAnd now a piece of me, is a piece of the beach, Dand it falls just where it
