  Fm                                F#
I don't know what you're doing to me
  Fm                F#
I only know it works
     Fm                           F#
Sometimes you make me feel so good
    Fm                        F#
Sometimes you make me hurt, ye-ah

    D#m           Fm
Cos you give me a reason
    A#m              G#
For getting up each day
  D#m           Fm
I ain't no poet baby
          G#
But I'll say

Chorus:
             Fm               F#
Anywhere you go (Anywhere you go)
                Fm                  F#
I'll be by your side (Right by your side)
                    Fm                    A#m
Cos baby love won't work (Baby, love won't work)
             D#7            G#
If we don't try (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

I don't know what you're doing to me
But I'm leaving it to fate
I'm gonna be with you forever
And baby I can't wait

Our love keeps living baby
While other loves have died
It ain't the destination
It's the ride

Chorus:
And anywhere you go
I'll be by your side
Because baby love won't work
If we don't try

Sometimes we're up
Sometimes we're down
But always know
I'm gonna be around

     B  F# D#m
And girl
             A#m                  B  F# D#m
There's something you've got to know
               A#m          B   F# D#m
We'll make it through any storm
      A#m            G#
If we both don't let go

Chorus:
And anywhere you go
I'll be by your side
Because baby love won't work
If we don't try

Sometimes we're up
Sometimes we're down
But always know
I'm gonna be around

And anywhere you go
I'll be by your side
Because baby love won't work
If we don't try
