Verse 1:
 
G
Your hand fits in mine
 
G
Like it's made just for me
 
C
But bear this in mind
 
C
It was meant to be
 
Em
And I'm joining up the dots
 
D
With the freckles on your cheeks
 
C D G
And it all makes sense to me
 
G
I know you've never loved
 
G
The crinkles by your eyes
 
C
When you smile, you've never loved
 
C
Your stomach or your thighs
 
Em
The dimples in your back
 
D
At the bottom of your spine
 
C D G
But I'll love them endlessly
 
[Refrão]
Am C
I won't let these little things
 
Em D
Slip out of my mouth
 
Am
But if I do
 
C
It's you
 
Em
Oh it's you
 
D
They add up to
 
C
I'm in love with you
 
C G
And all these little things
 
Verse 2:
 
G
You can't go to bed
 
G
Without a cup of tea
 
C
And maybe that's the reason
 
C
That you talk in your sleep
 
Em
And all those conversations
 
D
Are the secrets that I keep
 
C D G
Though it makes no sense to me
 
Verse 3:
 
G
I know you've never loved
 
G
The sound of your voice on
 
C
Tape, you never want to
 
C
Know how much you weigh
 
Em
You still have to squeeze
 
D
Into your jeans
 
C D G
But you're perfect to me
 
[Refrão]
 
Am C
I won't let these little things
 
Em D
Slip out of my mouth
 
Am
But if it's true
 
C
It's you
 
Em
Oh it's you
 
D
They add up to
 
Am
I'm in love with you
 
C
And all these little things
 
Bridge:
 
Am C
You'll never love yourself
 
Em D
Half as much as I love you
 
Am C G
You'll never treat yourself right darlin'
 
D
But I want you to
 
Am C
If I let you kno-o-o-w
 
G D
I'm here for you
 
Am C Em D
Maybe you'll love yourself like I love you. Oh..
 
[Refrão]
 
Am C
And I've just let these little things
 
Em D
Slip out of my mouth
 
Am
'cause it's you
 
C
Oh it's you
 
Em
It's you
 
D
They add up to
 
Am C
And I'm in love with you
 
C
And all these little things
 
Am C
I won't let these little things
 
Em D
Slip out of my mouth
 
Am
But if I do
 
C
It's you
 
Em
Oh it's you
 
D
They add up to
 
C
I'm in love with you
 
C G
And all these little things
