DANIEL BEDINGFIELD - If You're Not The One


 

INTRO

 G   Cadd9   G   Cadd9

 

G                                                                                    Cadd9

If you’re not the one then why does my soul feel glad, today?

     G                                                                      Cadd9

If you’re not the one then why does my hand fit yours, this way?

 G                                                                          Cadd9

If you are not mine then why does your heart return, my call?

     G                                                                       Cadd9

If you were not mine would I have the strength to stand, at all?


D                                   C

I never know what the future brings

           D                                       Am

But I know you’re here with me now

                           G                                                    Cadd9

We’ll make it through and I hope you are the one I share my life with

 

CHORUS

 

G                                      Am               Cadd9              G

I don’t wanna run away, but I can’t take it, I don’t understand

G              Am                       Cadd9                                             Em

If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?

                 D                   Am                      Cadd9

Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

 

D                                                         Cadd9

If I don’t need you then why am I crying on my bed?

D                                                                       Cadd9

If I don’t need you then why does your name resound in my head?

D                                                                        Cadd9

If you’re not for me then why does this distance maim my life

     D                                                                Cadd9

If you’re not for me then why do I dream of you, as my wife?

 

D                                      Cadd9

I don’t know why you’re so far away

           D                                Am

But I know that this much is true

                          G                                                       Cadd9

We’ll make it through and I hope you are the one I share my life with

          G                                         Cadd9

And I wish that you could be the one I die with

G                                                 Cadd9

And I pray that you’re the one I build my home with

D                 Cadd9                 G

I hope I love you all my life

 

CHORUS

 

G                                      Am               Cadd9              G

I don’t wanna run away, but I can’t take it, I don’t understand

G              Am                       Cadd9                                             Em

If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?

                 D                   Am                      Cadd9

Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

 

 

          Em         Cadd9                      D                               Cadd9

Cos I miss you body and soul, so strong that it takes my breath away

            Em            Cadd9                     D                                    G

And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today

 

           Em             Cadd9                          D

Cos I love you, whether it’s wrong or right

                             G                    Cadd9                                   D              G

And though I can’t be with you tonight, you know my heart is by your side

 

CHORUS

 

G                                      Am               Cadd9              G

I don’t wanna run away, but I can’t take it, I don’t understand

G              Am                       Cadd9                                             Em

If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?

                 D                   Am                      Cadd9

Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
