I dont know what it is.
 
 
[VERSE]
 
Am
When I am sad and weary,
F
When all my hope is gone,
C
And I can't put my finger,
G (D)
On the time things first went wrong.
 
Am
I have a little secret,
F
I like to tell myself,
C
And until now,
G (D)
I haven't told anybody else.
 
F
You may not see things my way,
G Gb F
Like my methods or my reasons,
F Am E
But you can't tell me that I'm wrong.
 
 
[CHORUS]
 
A
There's no heart you can't melt,
Cadd9 C
with a certain little smile.
F Esus4
No challenge should be faced without a little charm,
E
and a lot of style.
A
Don't put your faith in time,
Cadd9 C
she heals but doesn't change,
F Esus4 E
and only a fool won't take the chance to stay the same.
 
 
[VERSE]
 
When I am sad and weary
When all my hopes are gone
I walk around my house and think of you with nothing on
 
I have a list of things I go over in my mind
When I can just sit right back and watch the world unwind
You may not see things my way,
I don't care 'cos I'm not asking
but you can't tell me that I'm wrong
 
 
[CHORUS]
 
There's no heart you can't melt
with a certain little smile
No challenge should be faced without a little charm
and a lot of style
Don't put your faith in time,
she heals but doesn't change
and only a fool wouldn't take the chance to stay the same
