Chorus:
        F#
Down to you, it's down to you
                             C#
The way you do, it's like a dream come true
        F#
Down to you, it's down to you
                        C# B
We're sailing to the horizon

  C#          F#                C#
I never gave myself a chance, I hardly went
      B
to school
I smoked away the afternoons,
didn't concentrate at all
I never gave a second thought to what was going down
My only interest was whereabouts of Shirley Brown

           F#               C#
But now I love the way you talk,
   F#               B
I love the way you walk
There's something in your smile
that haunts me all the while
Can't forget the way you walk,
I love to hear you talk
You've heard it all before,
you've broken down the door

Chorus

Whatever way was easier I take it to survive
I never gave it everything and always take a dive
Whenever I was supposed to work
I never thought I should
I set my fee and wondered why they never understood

But now I love the way you talk,
I love the way you walk
There's something in your smile
that haunts me all the while
Can't forget the way you walk,
I love to hear you talk
You've heard it all before,
you've broken down the door

Chorus - x2

Wasting all the nights away and losing all the days
A person wrote an anagram, I always got it wrong
I blamed it on the way the television came along

But now I love the way you talk,
I love the way you walk
There's something in your smile
that haunts me all the while
Can't forget the way you walk,
I love to hear you talk
You've heard it all before,
you've broken down the door

But now I love the way you talk,
I love the way you walk
There's something in your smile
that haunts me all the while
Now I love the way you talk,
I love the way you walk
There's something in your smile
that haunts me all the while
Now I love the way you talk,
I love the way you walk
There's something in your smile
that haunts me all the while
Now I love the way you talk,
I love the way you walk
There's something in your smile
that haunts me all the while
