Intro: Bb Ab Eb F#

Verse 1:
Bb (picking)
Until you came
Bb
I was just the same 
              Eb (full)     
As everybody else
        F#       Ab        Bb (picking)
Whoever saw the light and turned away

Bb (picking)
You love me now
Bb
You loved me then
                   Eb (full)
And every now and again
                         F#         Ab       Bb (picking)   
You show me how it would be if I�d gone the other way

Pre-Chorus: (palm mute)
Eb      F#       Ab        Eb              F#       Ab  Eb        
After all this time I�ve come to find my soul�s fragility
             F#  Ab      Eb              F#     Ab
But you�ve rectified my frailty by your strength

Chorus: (full)
               F#                      C#
It�s like the sun swallowed up by the earth
       F#              C#
Like atomic bombs in reverse
         Bb                     Eb
As if a glass could contain the sea
           F#       Ab     Eb
That�s the way you are in me
           F#       Ab     Bb (picking) 
That�s the way you are

Verse 2:
Bb (picking)
Now here I stand
Bb
Looking back 
                          Eb (full)
To the way things used to be
            F#   Ab    Bb (picking)
But I will never be alone again

Bb (picking)
�Cause you�re with me
Bb
And now I see
                 Eb (full)
What it means to me
         F#      Ab     Bb (picking)
To be a part of such a mystery

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)

Bridge:
Bb Ab F# Ab Bb 

(Pre-Chorus)

Ending:
(Chorus)
That�s the way you are in me
With Eb= 3 times
With Bb= 4 times
