Chords with lyrics

The Wanted - Only You

Taken from the group's third album Word Of Mouth (Deluxe Edition), great song and quite powerful. If you guys
don't know already, Jay McGuiness a fifth of the group, wrote the song alongside Paddy Dalton and it focuses
on those who struggle with addictions and finding a way out, real meaningful song!

Tuning: Standard
Capo 1st Fret

Verse
FF   G+G  A minorAm  C majorC        G+G    FF
How  can I,  hold a mirror up to your eyes?
FF   G+G  A minorAm  C majorC         G+G   FF
speak the way, you can understand what's inside
FF            G+G  A minorAm
you've been broken down in a thousand different ways
     C majorC              G+G   FF
I've been looking over pictures and you hardly look the same
   FF            G+G  A minorAm
I can see it from a mile that the way you smile has changed
  C majorC   G+G  FF
but you  don't know

During the pre-chorus which is:

It's hard for me to sit and watch you getting sick

when all I wanna do is try...

I like to play the riff over the top which is something like this:

e|---------------------------------|
b|---------------------------------|
g|---------------------------------|
d|----------------0-0--------------|
a|------0---3-3---------3-0--------|
E MajorE|--3------------------------3--1--|

NOTE: listen to the song to figure out when the riff is played over the pre-chorus!

Chorus
FF   G+G A minorAm    C majorC        G+G   FF
Only  you,  can dig yourself out just before you break down
FF   G+G A minorAm    C majorC        G+G   FF
only  you,  can lift yourself up just before you get stuck
FF        G+G     A minorAm
all of this pain spread all over your face
C majorC         G+G    FF
all I wanna do is help you out of this place
FF   G+G A minorAm   C majorC      G+G   FF          FF
only  you,  so hurry up now just before you run out of time
G+G  A minorAm         C majorC   G+G FF
before you run out of time

Verse 2
FF  G+G A minorAm  C majorC          G+G   FF
Beautiful,  that's the only way I see you
 FF  G+G A minorAm   C majorC         G+G   FF
nobody else, can love you in the way that I do
FF            G+G     A minorAm
sometimes I get worried that you're taking on too much
     C majorC           G+G      FF
and this crazy world we live in doesn't really give a f**k
  FF          G+G   A minorAm
if only we could paddle to a place where it was just
C majorC   G+G  FF
you  and I
