Arithmetic

            G    D        Am      C
I've been staring at the sky tonight
        G       D       C       D
Marvelling and passing time
            G    D        Am      C
Wondering what to do with daylight
      G      D        C     D
Until I can make you mine
C            D      Em   C           D      G
You are the one I want, you are the one I want


I've been thinking of changing my mind
(It never stays the same for long)
But of all the things I know for sure
You're the only certain one
You are the one I want, you are the one I want

I've been counting up all my wrongs
One sorry for each star
See I'd apologise my way to you
If the heavens stretched that far
You are the one I want, you are the one I want

         C        D     Em      G
I won't find what I am looking for
      C     D        G      Em
If I only "see" by keeping score
     C       D           Em       G          Am      D
'Cos I know now you are so much more than arithmetic

     C     D      Em     G
'Cos if I add, if I subtract
      C       D           G         Em
If I give it all, try to take some back
           C         D            Em            G
I've forgotten the freedom that comes from the fact
      Am
That you are the sum
    C              D
So you are the one
    G   D       C       D       (2x)
I want

            G       D     Am      C
When the years are showing on my face
        G       D         C     D
And my strongest days are gone
         G          D     Am          C
When my heart and flesh depart this place
        G         D         C    D
From a life that sung your song


        C            D     Em
You'll still be the one I want
        C            D     Em
You'll still be the one I want
        C            D     Em
You'll still be the one I want
        C            D     G
You'll still be the one I want
