            Am
you turn to me
           F
I turn to you
C                             G
neither of us fools have got a clue
           Am
like it or not
               F
you're on the brain

so I'm hoping this does not go down
G
hoping this does not go down the drain


C (same picking as in the intro)


Verse:

C
you never know quite what to say to me
                      G
and I see your head shake
C
I guess you've never been the brightest candle on the cake
              G                                    C
We wouldn't knooow, we wouldn't know, we wouldn't know

C                                                    G
you're with me every morning drinking coffee making toast
C
I guess I'm worried that you might not be there when I need you most
              G                                    F
We wouldn't knooow, we wouldn't know, we wouldn't know
                              G
we wouldn't know love if it slapped us in the face


Chorus:

            Am
you turn to me
           F
I turn to you
C                             G
neither of us fools have got a clue
           Am
like it or not
               F
you're on the brain
        C
so I'm hoping this does not go down
G
hoping this does not go down the drain
