G  Em  C  D
[Verse 1]
GDown, down in my Embones
Somewhere I'd never have Cknown
Right at the back of my Dhead
GIt hit me like a beam of Emlight
Hit me like a hook of the Cright
And I could have fell to the Dfloor
Cause you Gtalk to me and it comes off the Emwall
You Ctalk to me and it goes over my Dhead
So let's Ggo to bed before you say something Emreal
Let's Cgo to bed before you say how you Dfeel
[Chorus]
Cause it's Gyou
Oh, it's Emalways you
Oh, I Calways knew
Oh, it's Dyou
[Verse 2]
GI try my best to Emunwind
Nothing on my Cmind, nothin' at all but Dyou
OGblivious to all that I Emowe
I'm Changing on to what I dDon't know
So let's Ggo to bed before you say somethinEmg real
Let's Cgo to bed before you say how you Dfeel
[Chorus]
Cause it's Gyou
Oh, it's Emalways you
Oh, I Calways knew
Oh, baby Dit's you
DYeah,
And I Gknew, yes I Emalways knew
Yes I Calways knew
Oh baby its Dyou
[Hook]
You used to call me on my Gcell phone
Late night when you Emneed my love
Call me on my Ccell phone
Late night when you Dneed my love
And I know when that Ghotline bling
That can only mEmean one thing
I know when that Chotline bling
That can only mean Done thing
[Verse 3]
Ever since I left the city Gyou
Got a reputation for yourEmself now
Everybody knows and I feel Cleft out
Girl you got me down, you got me Dstressed out
'Cause ever since I left the city Gyou
Started wearing less and goin' Emout more
Glasses of champagne out on the Cdance floor
Hangin' with some girls I've never Dseen before
[Hook]
You used to call me on my Gcell phone
Late night when you Emneed my love
Call me on my Ccell phone
Late night when you Dneed my love

[Intro]

G Em C D

[Verse 1]

G Em

Down, down in my bones

Somewhere I'd never have known

Right at the back of my head

G Em

It hit me like a beam of light

Hit me like a hook of the right

And I could have fell to the floor

G Em

Cause you talk to me and it comes off the wall

C D

You talk to me and it goes over my head

G Em

So let's go to bed before you say something real

C D

Let's go to bed before you say how you feel

[Chorus]

Cause it's you

Oh, it's always you

Oh, I always knew

Oh, it's you

[Verse 2]

G Em

I try my best to unwind

C D

Nothing on my mind, nothin' at all but you

G Em

Oblivious to all that I owe

C D

I'm hanging on to what I don't know

G Em

So let's go to bed before you say something real

C D

Let's go to bed before you say how you feel

[Chorus]

Cause it's you

Oh, it's always you

Oh, I always knew

Oh, baby it's you

Yeah,

G Em

And I knew, yes I always knew

Yes I always knew

Oh baby its you

[Hook]

You used to call me on my cell phone

Late night when you need my love

Call me on my cell phone

Late night when you need my love

And I know when that hotline bling

That can only mean one thing

I know when that hotline bling

That can only mean one thing

[Verse 3]

Ever since I left the city you

Got a reputation for yourself now

Everybody knows and I feel left out

Girl you got me down, you got me stressed out

'Cause ever since I left the city you

Started wearing less and goin' out more

Glasses of champagne out on the dance floor

Hangin' with some girls I've never seen before

[Hook]

You used to call me on my cell phone

Late night when you need my love

Call me on my cell phone

Late night when you need my love
