Verse 1
Dm       Bb
I cannot help it
F                  C
I couldn't stop it if I tried
Dm           Bb
The same old heartbeat
          F        C       Dm    Bb
fills the emptyness I have inside
         F                          C
And I've heard that you can't fight love
           Dm      Bb
so I won't complain
    F                    C                 Bb
Coz why would I stop the fire that keeps me going on

Chorus
                 F
Coz when there's you
       C
I feel whole
            G                        Dm
And there's no better feelin in this world
    Bb      F
But without you
    C
I'm alone
        G            Bb
And I'd rather be in love with you

Verse 2
Dm           Bb
Turn out the lights now
F            C
To see is to believe
Dm              Bb
I just want you near me
F               C         Dm  Bb
I just want you here with me
        F            C              Dm  Bb
And I'd give up everything only for you
         F                  C  Bb
It's the least that I could do

Repeat Chorus, but add on
Dm  Bb      F        C
     and I feel you holding me
Dm  Bb      F        C

Bridge
G              Bb            G
  Why are we afraid to be in love?
      Bb     G
To be loved
          Bb
I can't explain it
            G          Bb
I know it's tough to be loved

Dm  Bb     F        C
     and I feel you holding me
Dm  Bb     F        C
Bb
   Oh

Repeat Chorus X2 but add on
        G            Bb
Yes I'd rather be in love
       G            Bb
Oh I'd rather be in love with you
Dm  Bb      F        C
     and I feel you holding me
Bb      F
  Oh

This tab is for a girl I saw on the Northern Line, London
Underground on June 22nd 2002, with her mum been shopping
around 7pm. Before I could get a chance to talk to her, I
realised I was on the wrong f   ing train. I didn't even
catch her name!!! Neways, enough of my tales of love and
loss. This is my 1st tab, and this is one of my fav songs
me a break, I'm only 16!!!
