This ballad went straight to No1 in the UK charts last week.
I play this on a classical. Try and play the chords arpeggio style (
finger pick). Play them dreamlike.

x0x220 xx0230
If you’re not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
x0x220 xx0230
If you’re not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
x0x220 xx0230
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call
x0x220 xx0230
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all
xx2100 xx0230
I never know what the future brings
xx2100 x2x230
But I know you are here with me now
x0x220
We’ll make it through
xx0230
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
x0x200 xx0230
I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
x0x200 x2x230 xx0230
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
xx2100 x2x230 xx0230
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
x0x220 xx0230
If I don’t need you then why am I crying on my bed?
x0x220 xx0230
If I don’t need you then why does your name resound in my head?
x0x220 xx0230
If you’re not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
x0x220 xx0230
If you’re not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?
xx2100 xx0230
I don’t know why you’re so far away
xx2100 x2x230
But I know that this much is true
x0x220
We’ll make it through
xx0230
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
x0x220 xx0230
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
x0x220 xx0230
And I pray in you’re the one I build my home with
xx2100 xx0230 x0x220
I hope I love you all my life
x0x200 xx0230
I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
x0x200 x2x230 xx0230
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
xx2100 x2x230 xx0230
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
x2x220 xx0230 xx2100 xx0230
Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath
away
x2x220 xx0230 xx2100 xx0230
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand
today
x2x220 xx0230 xx2100
Cause I love you, whether it’s wrong or right
xx0230 x2x230
And though I can’t be with you tonight
x0x220
And know my heart is by your side
x0x200 xx0230
I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
x0x200 x2x230 xx0230
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
xx2100 x2x230 xx0230
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
