Capo 2

[Intro]
C
 
[Verse 1]
  In the morning cold, you do wake up slow
G (2)                  (3)            C
  And I get up quick, make the kettle click
G (2)                 (3)             C
  And I know I do sometimes annoy you
F (2)             (3)             C
  But you know it's true, that I adore you
G (2)                     (3)          C
 
[Chorus]
Would you rub my back, if I sang you to sleep
          E      Am         F           C
Would you hold my name, like you hum so sweet
          E       Am             F      C
Would you keep me up, if gravity's not enough
          E       Am          F         C
Will you be there 'till the end, I know that I will
         E         Am       F    (1)           C
 
[Verse 2]
  When you go away, I gotta go and play
G (2)               (3)            C
  'Till the end of day, 'till I hit the hay
G (2)                    (3)            C
  'Cause when I'm alone, and you aren't home
F (2)                    (3)            C
  I'm a lonely one, always on the run
G (2)               (3)           C
 
[Chorus]
Would you rub my back, if I sang you to sleep
          E      Am         F           C
Would you hold my name, like you hum so sweet
          E       Am             F      C
Would you keep me up, if gravity's not enough
          E       Am          F         C
Will you be there 'till the end, I know that I will
         E         Am       F    (1)           C
 
   Mmmm...  I know that I will
G  F        (1)           C
