Sway (1999) (video)

C - D - C - D

G Bm

1. Don't stray, don't ever go away,

C

I should be much too smart for this,

you know it gets the better of me.

G Bm

2. Sometimes when you and I collide,

C D

I fall into an ocean of you, pull me out in time.

Em Bm C - D

Don't let me drown, let me down, I say, it's all because of you.

G Bm

3. And here I go, losing my control,

C

I'm practising your name, so I can say it to your face.

G Bm

4. It doesn't seem right to look you in the eye,

C D

let all the things you mean to me come tumbling out my mouth.

Em Bm C - D

Indeed it's time to tell you why, I say it's infinitely true.

G D Em Bm - D

Say you'll stay, don't come and go like you do !

G D Em Bm - D

Sway my way, yeah, I need to know all about you.

G Bm

5. And there's no cure and no way to be sure,

C

why everything's turned inside out, we're still in so much doubt.

G Bm

6. It makes me so tired, I feel so uninspired,

C D

my head is battling with my heart, my logic has been torn apart.

Em Bm C - D

And now it all turns sour, 'cause we sing every afternoon.

G D Em Bm - D

Say you'll stay, don't come and go like you do !

G D Em Bm - D

Sway my way, yeah, I need to know all about you.
