[Verse 1]
 
G                   Bm    C                        Em
You're the Northern Wind, sending shivers down my spine
       C            Dadd4add9          G         (G)
You're like, fallen leaves in an autumn night
 
G               Bm  C                      Em
You're the lullaby, that's singing me to sleep
C                 Dadd4add9                   G         (G)
You are the other half, you're like a missing piece
 
 
[Hook]
 
Em    G     Em    G     Em    G
Oh my love, oh my love, oh my love
          C                   G  Em   G   Em    G   Em   G   Em
You don't know what you do to me, oh me
 
G                Bm       C            Em
You are all four seasons, rolled into one
                C             Dadd4add9              G      (G)
You're like the cold December snow, in the warm July sun
 
G                 Bm  C                       Em
I'm the jet black sky that's just before the rain
         C               Dadd4add9             G            (G)
Like the mighty current, pulling you under the waves.
 
Em    G     Em    G     Em    G
Oh my love, oh my love, oh my love
          C                   G   Em G   Em   G   Em   G   Em
You don't know what you do to me, oh me
 
G               Bm   C                 Em
I'm the darkest hour, just before the dawn, 
        C              Dadd4add9              G         (G)
and I'm slowly sinking into the the slough of despond
 
G           Bm      C                 Em
Like an old guitar, Worn out and left behind
       C                Dadd4add9                    G       (G)
I have stories still to tell they're, of the healing kind
 
Em    G     Em    G     Em    G
Oh my love, oh my love, oh my love
           C             Dadd4add9           C         Dadd4add9
If I could just find you tonight, if I could just find you tonight
      G
Oh my love

the D chord is actually that D/G chord that Dallas loves and he plays a F# note as a run down between the G and Em in the intro and at the end of the verses, I know there's a few other flourishes but adding this one makes a difference! Awesome tab though, lovely song to sing!
