Arithmetic Tab

by Brooke Fraser


(I think these are the chords for piano, but they should be the same for guitar)


Intro-          (x4)

                     

Verse 1-
                              
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

         

Verse 2-  (same chord progressions as verse 1)
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

           

Verse 3- (same chord progressions as verse 1 & 2)
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

           

Bridge-
                           
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
                (x2)
I want



Verse 4- (8ve higher)
                              
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
