Arithmetic Tab

by Brooke Fraser


(not exact, but easy!)


	    	 	  	  
I've been staring at the sky tonight
				
Marvelling and passing time
	    	 	  	  
Wondering what to do with daylight
      	             	    
Until I can make you mine
                                      
You are the one I want, you are the one I want


I've been thinking of changing my mind
(It never stays the same for long)
But of all the things I know for sure
You're the only certain one
You are the one I want, you are the one I want

I've been counting up all my wrongs
One sorry for each star
See I'd apologise my way to you
If the heavens stretched that far
You are the one I want, you are the one I want

                            
I won't find what I am looking for
                         
If I only "see" by keeping score
                                              
'Cos I know now you are so much more than arithmetic

                     
'Cos if I add, if I subtract
                                 
If I give it all, try to take some back
                                            
I've forgotten the freedom that comes from the fact
                 
That you are the sum
    		   
So you are the one
    				(2x)
I want

	    	    	  	  
When the years are showing on my face
			  	
And my strongest days are gone
	 	    	  	      
When my heart and flesh depart this place
		  	    	 
From a life that sung your song


		          
You'll still be the one I want
		          
You'll still be the one I want
		          
You'll still be the one I want
		          
You'll still be the one I want
