C                      F                 Dm G
There's something that I can't quite explain
           C           F                        Dm G
I'm so in love with you, you'll never take that away
C                      F               Dm G
And if I've said it a hundred times before
           C           F                       Dm G
Expect a thousand more, you'll never take that away

G
Well expect me to be
F                            Dm
Calling you to see if you're OK when I'm not around
Am                        G
Asking if you love me, I love the way
you make it sound
F                         Dm
Calling you to see, do I try too hard
              Sm
to make you smile?
            G
To make us smile

Chorus:
             C               F
I will keep calling you to see
            Dm
If you're sleeping, are you dreaming?
            G
If you're dreaming, are you dreaming of me?
C          F                  Dm      G
I can't believe you actually picked me

I thought that the world had lost it's sway
(It's so hard sometimes)
Then I fell in love with you
(Then came you)
And you took that away
(It's not so difficult)
(The world is not so difficult)
You take away the old
Show me the new
And I feel like I can fly when I stand next to you
So while I'm on this phone
A hundred miles from home
I'll take the words you gave me
and send them back to you

I only want to see
If you're OK when I'm not around
Asking "if you love me"
I love the way you make it sound
Calling you to see
Do I try too hard to make you smile?
To make us smile

Chorus - x3
