When You Love Someone

[Intro] 
Am C G D

[Verse 1]

G                       C
When was the last time it was just us two.
Em                                 D
This busy world gives us an endless list of things to do.
G                                 C                                                 
I wish there was a place we could go just me and you,
Em                                       D
need to carve out precious time despite all we're going through.

[Pre-Chorus]

Am                          C
Call and say that you're ill there's no medicine to fill.
G                      D
This love sick void of mine.

[Chorus]

                     Am                C
Let's just turn the world off like a Sunday.
             G              D
All we gotta do is work our bodies.
                   Am                 C
Underneath these sheets there are no worries.
                           G       D   
When the world outside is scary, ohhh, baby you're my sanctuary.

[Interlude] 
Am C 
                        G       D
Baby you're my sanctuary.

[Verse 2]

G                          C                       
When was the last time we went out for a meal and 
Em                                D
drunk too much to forget work and how it makes us feel.
G                          C
We can wake up to reality when our hearts have healed.
Em                         D
But for now this isolation it couldn't be more ideal.

[Pre-Chorus]

Am                                 C
Call and say that you're ill there's no medicine to fill.
G                           D
This love sick void of mine.
Am                               C
And now that we found our space, to feed each others embrace.
G                                 D
We can leave our troubles behind.

[Chorus]

                     Am              C                    
Let's just turn the world off like a Sunday.
               G              D
All we got to do is work our bodies.
                   Am                  C
Underneath these sheets there are no worries.
                           G         D
When the world outside is scary, ohhh, baby you're my sanctuary.

[Interlude] 
Am C
                        G             D
Baby you're my sanctuary.
                              Am       C
When the world outside is scary
                        G             D
Baby you're my sanctuary.

[Bridge]

G 
In room all time it stops.
Em                            Am                               B
And everything else I forgot, oh, when you leave it starts again we can just pretend.

[Chorus]

                      Am              C
Let's just turn the world off like a Sunday.
               G              D
All we got to do is work our bodies.
                   Am                  C
Underneath these sheets there are no worries.
                            G        D                        
When the world outside is scary, ohhh, baby you're my sanctuary. 
Am                             C
(You are my sanctuary,)
                         G                D 
Baby you're my sanctuary, (you are my sanctuary).
                            Am                    C                           G                        D
When the world outside is scary. (You are my sanctuary) baby you're my sanctuary. (You are my sanctuary).

Sanctuary

[Verse 1]  
                 G
This isn't gonna work
G/F#                             Em          D
You say with make-up running down your face
            G
I can see you're hurt
      G/F#                             Em         D
But a bit of hope is all I'm trying to trace
 
[Bridge] 
C:   X-3-5-5-5-3
D:   X-5-7-7-7-5
Em7: X-7-9-7-8-7
G:   X-10-12-12-12-X

          C
I hate to see you cry
      D
With the tears I've made
Em7                         G
But what's gone wrong since yesterday

[Chorus]  

G                Cadd9  Cadd9/B     Em7
I won't let us go down, down, down
         D/F#
For this love I won't lose
G                     Cadd9  Cadd9/B     Em7
Soon, answers will be found, found, found
      D/F#               G     Cadd9
And our hearts no longer black and blue
Em7  D/F#             G     Cadd9
Our hearts no longer, black and blue
Em7  D/F#                G
Our hearts no longer bruised

[Verse 2] 
G
I won't do this anymore
G/F#                          Em              D
You said once packing up your clothes
                    G
I'll block your path to the door
G/F#                          Em              D
And tell you the reasons why you shouldn't go

[Bridge]
          C
Let's wait out the storm
      D
Take one deep breath
Em7                   G
Cause giving up leads to regret

[Chorus]
G                Cadd9  Cadd9/B     Em7
I won't let us go down, down, down
         D/F#
For this love I won't lose
G                     Cadd9  Cadd9/B     Em7
Soon, answers will be found, found, found
      D/F#               G     Cadd9
And our hearts no longer black and blue
Em7  D/F#             G     Cadd9
Our hearts no longer, black and blue
Em7  D/F#                Am
Our hearts no longer bruised

[Middle]
Am        D/F#      Am     D/F#
Oh no no, oh no no, oh no no

[Outro]
G                Cadd9  Cadd9/B     Em7
I won't let us go down, down, down
         D/F#
For this love I won't lose
G                     Cadd9  Cadd9/B     Em7
Soon, answers will be found, found, found
      D/F#               G     Cadd9
And our hearts no longer black and blue
Em7  D/F#             G     Cadd9
Our hearts no longer, black and blue
Em7  D/F#                G
Our hearts no longer bruised

Wondering where I've been, where I've been
                   Bb             F
If I'm ever coming out again, out again

 Cm                            Eb
Guess I don't see the harm in just a couple drinks
 Bb                             F
Guess I don't see the harm in having two or three
         Cm                 Eb
Probably do me good, do me good
                           Bb                     F
Cause I think of you more than I should, than I should

They think they're trying to help introducing me to someone else
   F

[Chorus]
Cm          Eb    
That if I dance with somebody
Bb          F             Cm
   I might want somebody else
          Eb         
And if I want somebody
Bb                          F                  Cm
I might fall in love and forget what it was to be
                 Eb
Wrapped in your arms so tightly
Bb          F
To be your man so tonight I'll be
  Cm     Eb               Bb                            F

Cm                      Eb
Now I remember why this was a bad idea
Bb                    F
Now I remember even less than when we got here
  Cm        Eb
Memories, memories
                     Bb                     F
I feel you slipping away from me, away from me

Cm                             Eb
I almost wish they'd play the song we used to sing
Bb                          F
I almost bought some other girl your favourite drink
       Cm                  Eb
Had to stop myself, stop myself
                        Bb                  F
Had to drink the lemon drop myself, drop myself

      Eb
They think they're trying to help introducing me to someone else
   F
I play along cause I haven't got the heart to tell em

[Chorus]

And if I want somebody

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you

and everyone's your enemy
A                                        E
when you wish you were someone else
                 D                        A
and you wanna go out and kill yourself

ooh you're overreacting

(take your time)


A                       E
when you get yourself depressed
                      D                   A
because you think you can't do your best
A                                         E
when you write yourself a stupid song
           D                        A
to remind yourself that you forgot

[chorus]

E D                 A

Overreacting

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Gonna Be A Long Time

It takes a while to get used to the rhythm. In the verse the
time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.
