-6* 6  -6* 6   -6*  -7   6

 -5    6   -5  6  -7 -5
Can't work it out at all
 -5  -5 -5  5*  -3    5*   -4
What-ev-er made you choose me?
-6* 6   -6*  6   -6*  -7  6
I just can't be-lieve my eyes
-5   6   -5 6  -7   -5
You look at me as though
-5   -5   -5   5*  -3  5*  -4
You could-n't bear to lose me.

No mat-ter what I do
