[Intro]
Am7 G6add11 Am/F# Am/F#
G Gmaj9 Em7 Em7

[Verse 1]
Am7      G6add11
They telephoned me
         Am/F#   Am/F#
just to say
     G              Gmaj9
That nobody had the time
          Em7   Em7
for yesterday
Am7        G6add11
And all at once, I
        Am/F#   Am/F#
felt so small
        G
Started feelin' like
   Gmaj9         Em7   Em7
nobody cared at all

[Chorus]
             Am7             D
But then you called, only to say
       G              Gmaj9
You'll never love somebody
          Em7   Em7
else this way
               Am7
And though I'm still
              D
 battered and bruised
     G
I forgave the world the
 Gmaj9           Em7   Em7
day that I met you
Am7    D
Mm-mm, mm-mm

[Verse 2]
Am7        G6add11
           Am/F#   Am/F#
The people talk, it's
 background noise
        G            Gmaj9
I don't wanna hear nobody
       Em7   Em7
else's voice
Am7               G6add11
There's something sweet about
      Am/F#   Am/F#
 your scent
         G         Gmaj9
It's like lavender came and
       Em7   Em7
never left


[Chorus]
             Am7             D
But then you called, only to say
       G              Gmaj9
You'll never love somebody
          Em7   Em7
else this way
               Am7
And though I'm still
              D
 battered and bruised
     G
I forgave the world the
 Gmaj9           Em7   Em7
day that I met you
Am7    D
Mm-mm, mm-mm

[Bridge]
Am7
Nothin' ever seemed
       D
 to go right
       G
All my days, they just
           E7
 fell into nights
              Am7
Until I got a little
                  D
 bit of you in my life
             G
And then, suddenly,
              E7
everything's bright

[Outro]
                    Am7
I know that there's a million
                        D
 different ways I could say
           G
How you're always the best
             E7
part of my day
                  Am7
And when you feel the need
               D
 to forget the world
        G                Am7
You can call anytime you want
G                Am7
Call anytime you want
D                    G
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm
