[Intro]
D E D E
[Verse]
A
Don't stray
C#m
Don't ever go away
D
I should be much too smart for this
You know it gets the better of me
A
sometimes
C#m
When you and I collide
D
I fall into an ocean of you
E
Pull me out in time
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m
Don't let me drown
C#m
Let me down
D Esus4 E
I say it's all because of you
[Verse]
A
And here I go
C#m
Losing my control
D
I'm practicing your name
So I can say it to your face
A
It doesn't seem right
C#m
To look you in the eye
D
And let all the things you mean to me
E
Come tumbling out my mouth
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m
Indeed it's time
C#m
Tell you why
D Esus4 E
I say it's infinitely true
[Chorus]
A E
Say you'll stay
F#m
Don't come and go
C#m E
Like you do
A E
Sway my way
F#m
Yeah, I need to know
C#m E
All about you
[Verse]
A
And there's no cure
C#m
And no way to be sure
D
Why everything's turned inside out
We're still in so much doubt
A
It makes me so tired
C#m
I feel so uninspired
D
My head is battling with my heart
My logic has been torn apart
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m
And now
C#m
It all turns sour
D Esus4 E
Come sweeten every afternoon
[Chorus]
A E
Say you'll stay
F#m
Don't come and go
C#m E
Like you do
A E
Sway my way
F#m
Yeah, I need to know
C#m E
All about you
[Post-Chorus]
D E
It's all because of you
D E
It's all because of you
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m
And now
C#m
It all turns sour
D Esus4 E
Come sweeten every afternoon
F#m
It's time
C#m
Tell you why
D Esus4 E
I say it's infinitely true
[Chorus]
A E
Say you'll stay
F#m
Don't come and go
C#m E
Like you do
A E
Sway my way
F#m
Yeah, I need to know
C#m
All about you
[Post-Chorus]
D E
It's all because of you
D E
It's all because of you
D E A
It's all because of you

Use a E or E7 instead of the Bm on the first part and in similar parts, it sounds a bit off!

Actually, use Dm instead of Bm. So, it goes from the D to a Dm. No Bm in the song. Also during the chorus, try an A5 instead of A. That's a first position A chord except the B sting is open rather than fretted on the 2nd fret.
+1
when playing the song the way ^^myannon^^ suggested how it could sound better, use the D chord (not the D on the fifth fret/the bar chord) instead of the E7...
