Album: What A Beautiful Day

**Capo 4** (or see below for down-tuning option)

Intro: D  Em  A  D

D                                           Em
Yeah sometimes you make me so crazy I wanna turn and go
A                                               D
Then you drive me wild and it makes me want to stay
D                                               Em
Yeah sometimes it feels like I'm walking down a rocky road
A                                            D
Just to fall in your arms at the end of the day
F#m7                                       G
You ain't perfect, but your perfect for a man like me
  F#m7                               G              A
And I know that I'm not the man that I'm supposed to be


Chorus:
                    D                      Bm
But it's gonna take faith, it's gonna take trust
                 G
It's gonna take everything we've got
                               A
Even when we know it won't be enough
                D                          Bm
It's gonna take hope, we even need a little luck
       Em
And if anybody tells us we can make it on our own
         A    G              A         D    Em(1st chorus only)
It ain't true, oh 'cause baby it takes two


D                                            Em
Yeah sometimes my work and the world get the best of me
A                                            D
Then I come home and try to give you what's left of me
D                                     Em
And sometimes you wonder if I'm even listening
A                                              D
And I hate how it hurts you when I forget the little things
F#m7                                      G
I'm not perfect, but for you I'll do the best I can
               F#m7                              G             A
'Cause without you I'll never be more than just another lonely man


CHORUS

D
I don't wanna walk alone now baby
Bm
I know I can't make it on my own baby
G
Even though sometimes you make me so crazy
A                                    D
I know together we can make it with faith
                         Bm
It's gonna take a little trust

(repeat the rest of the chorus)

                Bm                                G
It's gonna take faith, we're gonna need a little trust
               A
It's gonna take me, you the both of us
                D
It's gonna take two
