Nick Lowe - You Make Me

from the album labour of lust

tuning : eadgbe

one of the most understated yet beautiful songs i have ever heard . very difficult
to hear the guitar , even though it’s the only accompaniment – it’s mixed very very low ( E ) !

note – the top E string never gets played until the final D chord . . .

verse 1
– – – – – – –

D A D
you make me

D G D A A/G
it’s out of my hands you see

D E D/F# /G /A /B /A /G
i dont wann – A do wrong to ya

D A D
you make me

verse 2
– – – – – – –

D A D
you make me

D G D A A/G
i strive to be strong but i’m weak

D E D/F# /G /A /B /A /G
you say what use = less ex – cuse is this

D A D
you make me

refrain
– – – – – – –

F# Bm
i try with my might

F# Bm
to have and to hold
E E7
but there’s something doing
A A7
that i can’t cont – rol

D A D
see i have the blues my love
G
i’m just confused by love

D A D E
you make me

D A D
you make me

i hope i’ve done it justice!
