James Blunt - Beside You

Capo: 1st fret

[Intro]
Dm Am C
I hope there’s a song that God only knows
F
And it’s keeping me dancing (Dancing, dancing)
Dm Am C
Nobody here knows how the melody goes
F
But it’s keeping me dancing (Dancing, dancing)
N.C.
(Beside you)

[Verse 1]
Dm
Oh, Lord, here I go
Am
I get the highs, but why the lows?
C
Set me up with all these souls
F
And I watch them fall like dominoes
Dm
Too long I been on my feet
Am
Need more time, but it don’t come cheap
C
Some day I’ll be on my knees
F
And I pray my heart don’t miss a beat

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
But here I am and I feel that rhythm
Am
Miss the lifeline that I’ve been given
C
And all these colours in my head
F
And I ask myself, “Is it over yet?”

[Chorus]
Dm Am C
I hope there’s a song that God only knows
F
And it’s keeping me dancing
Dm Am C
Nobody here knows how the melody goes
F Dm Am
But it’s keeping me dancing beside you

[Post-Chorus]
C F
Beside you
Dm Am
Beside you
C F
Beside you

[Verse 2]
Dm
Oh, Lord, here I come
Am
Touch the sky and I kiss the sun
C
And when she fades, I know I might fall
F
But I won’t care much ‘cause I’ve seen it all

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
But here I am and I feel that rhythm
Am
Miss the lifeline that I’ve been given
C
And all these colours in my head
F
And I ask myself, “Is it over yet?” (Is it over yet? Is it over yet? Is it over?)

[Chorus]
Dm Am C
I hope there’s a song that God only knows
F
And it’s keeping me dancing
Dm Am C
Nobody here knows how the melody goes
F Dm Am
But it’s keeping me dancing beside you

[Post-Chorus]
C F
Beside you
Dm Am
Beside you
C F
Beside you

[Bridge]
Dm Am C F
No coming down, no coming down, no coming down
Dm Am C F
Head in the clouds, feet off the ground, no coming down
(I hope there’s a song)

[Chorus]
Dm Am C
I hope there’s a song that God only knows
F
And it’s keeping me dancing
Dm Am C
Nobody here knows how the melody goes
F Dm Am
But it’s keeping me dancing beside you

[Post-Chorus]
C F
Beside you
Dm Am
Beside you
C F
Beside you (Beside you)

[Outro]
Dm Am C
I hope there’s a song that God only knows
F
And it’s keeping me dancing (Beside you)
