You Are
View chords used in this chart
G D
We have blamed all the movies and songs
Em C
For feeding us lies about what love was
G D
And so I'm cynical in my awkward approach
Em C
In making you feel beautiful though I know you won't
Am C
I go to crazy extents just to be the guy
G D
Who sees you first thing when he opens his eyes
Am C G
And radio and screen will back down for one man's dream
D
As he tells you finally
Am C
You are whatever love is to me
G D
Don't shy away 'cause there's no concrete plans
Em C
And plans are for those who live as safe as they can
G D
And so I'm different in my sudden approach
Em C
In asking you to marry me though I know you won't
Am C
I go to crazy extents just to be the guy
G D
Who sees you first thing when he opens his eyes
Am C G
And radio and screen will back down for one man's dream
D
As he tells you finally
Am C
You are whatever love is to me
G D
La la la la
Em
Love is to me
C
La la la la
G
Love is to me
D
La la la la
Em C
Love is to me
Am C
I go to crazy extents just to be the guy
G D
Who sees you first thing when he opens his eyes
Am C G
And radio and screen will back down for one man's dream
D
As he tells you finally
Am C
You are whatever love is to me
