1. So I find a reason to shave my legs each single morning.
Em Em/F# Em/G Em/C# Cmaj7
So I count on someone Friday nights to take me dancing and then
Bsus4 B
to church on Sundays.
Am7 D Am7 D
To plan more dreams and someday think of kids
Am7 D
or maybe just to save a little money.
Refr.:
G D/F# Em C
You're the one I need. The way back home is always long
Cm G
but if you're close to me I'm holding on.
G D/F# Em C
You're the one I need. My real life has just begun
Cm G
cause there's nothing like your smile made of sun.
Em/D# Em/D Em/C# Cmaj7 Bsus4 B
In a world full of strangers you're the one I know.
Em Em/D# Em/D Em/C# Cmaj7 B
Em Em/D# Em/D Em/C# Cmaj7 Bsus4 B
2. So I learn to cook and finally lose my kitchen phobia.
Em Em/F# Em/G Em/C# Cmaj7
So I've got the arms to cuddle in when there's a ghost or a muse
Bsus4 B
that brings insomnia.
Am7 D Am7 D
To buy more thongs and write more happy songs.
Am7 D
It always takes a little help from someone.
Refr.:
G D/F# Em C
You're the one I need. The way back home is always long
Cm G
but if you're close to me I'm holding on.
G D/F# Em C
You're the one I need. My real life has just begun
Cm G
cause there's nothing like your smile made of sun.
Em/D# Em/D Em/C# Cmaj7 Bsus4 B
In a world full of strangers you're the one I know.

With you my real life has just begun.

You're the one I need. You're the one I need.

Cause there’s nothing like your smile made of sun.

Nothing like your love, nothing like your love.
Cm G
Ooooh. Nothing like your love.
