If you’re not the one    (video)

 

         G                                                                         C

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

          G                                                                      C

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

         G                                                                      C

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

         G                                                                          C

    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                                                       C

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

 

G                                            Am                  C                     G

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

                 Am                        C                                                Em

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

                      D                   Am               C

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

 

       G                                                           C

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

       G                                                                         C

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

          G                                                                        C

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

          G                                                               C

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

 

D                                              C

    I don’t know why you’re so far away,

                D                              Am

    but I know that this much is true,

                              G                                                         C

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

G                                                       C

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

G                                                      C

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

D               C                      G

    I hope I love you all my life.

 

G                                            Am                  C                     G

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

                 Am                        C                                                Em

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

                      D                   Am               C

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

 

                    Em           C

+  ‘Cause I miss you, body and soul,

             D                                 C

    so strong that it takes my breath away,

                Em             C

    And I breathe you into my heart

               D                                 G    

    and pray for the strength to stand today,

                   Em              C                           D

    ‘Cause I love you, whether it’s wrong or right,

                                  G                    C

    and though I can’t be with you tonight,

                                    D              G

    you know my heart is by your side.
