[Intro]
A F#m E
[Verse]
A
Something about you
A
It's like an addiction
                  F#m            E
Hit me with your best shot honey
                A
I've got no reason to doubt you
A
'Cause certain things hurt
                   F#m
And you're my only virtue
                  E
And I'm virtually yours
[Pre-Chorus]
        D
And you keep coming back, coming back again
F#m                                                 E
Keep running round, running round, running round my head
[Chorus]
                                    A
And there's certain things that I adore
                                    F#m
And there's certain things that I ignore
                         E
But I'm certain that I'm yours
                 E
Certain that I'm yours
                 D
Certain that I'm yours
[Verse]
        A
There's something about you
A
It's when you get angry
                    F#m      E
You have me at your mercy
                  A
And you're like a shoulder to turn to
A                                                F#m
'Cause certain things mend us when we're hanging on for dear life
E
We held on so tight
[Pre-Chorus]
        D
And you keep coming back, coming back again
F#m                                                 E
Keep running round, running round, running round my head
[Chorus]
                                    A
And there's certain things that I adore
                                    F#m
And there's certain things that I ignore
                         E
But I'm certain that I'm yours
                 E
Certain that I'm yours
                 D
Certain that I'm yours

There's certain things that I ignore
                         E
But I'm certain that I'm yours
                 E
Certain that I'm yours (I adore you)
                 D
Certain that I'm yours (I adore you)
    A
I adore you, I adore you
                F#m
I adore you, I adore you
