Arithmetic chords by Brooke Fraser (Brooke Ligertwood)

Tuning: Standard

Difficulty: Novice

(not exact, but easy!)

	    G	 D	  am	  C
I've been staring at the sky tonight
	G	D	C	D
Marvelling and passing time
	    G	 D	  am	  C
Wondering what to do with daylight
      G	     D        C	    D
Until I can make you mine
C            D      em   C           D      G
You are the one I want, you are the one I want

I've been thinking of changing my mind
(It never stays the same for long)
But of all the things I know for sure
You're the only certain one
You are the one I want, you are the one I want

I've been counting up all my wrongs
One sorry for each star
See I'd apologise my way to you
If the heavens stretched that far
You are the one I want, you are the one I want

         C        D     em      G
I won't find what I am looking for
      C     D        G      em
If I only "see" by keeping score
     C       D           em       G          am      D
'Cos I know now you are so much more than arithmetic

     C     D      em     G
'Cos if I add, if I subtract
      C       D           G         em
If I give it all, try to take some back
           C         D            em            G
I've forgotten the freedom that comes from the fact
      am
That you are the sum
    C		   D
So you are the one
    G	D	C	D	(2x)
I want

	    G	    D	  am	  C
When the years are showing on my face
	G	D	  C	D
And my strongest days are gone
	 G	    D	  am	      C
When my heart and flesh depart this place
	G	  D	    C	 D
From a life that sung your song


	C	     D     em
You'll still be the one I want
	C	     D     em
You'll still be the one I want
	C	     D     em
You'll still be the one I want
	C	     D     G
You'll still be the one I want
