Relatively speaking you make me who I am
C                           F
I need you exactly like the ocean needs the land

C
Relatively speaking I'm nothing without you
C                                  F
You are where I've been before you are where I'm going to
Am             Em7               F       G      C
You are living out my dreams and you are all my fears

You evoke my laughter, you unleash every tear

The black ones need the white


Verse 3:
C
Relatively speaking the contrast makes it go
C                       F
Every action taken is related in the flow

Stars and losers, kings and fools go dancing hand in hand
Am           F           D7            Dm7   G
 Relatively speaking you make me who I am
