C           F
Last week I ran downtown 
       G            C
To see you and tell you I love(d) you 
           F                   G
But just before I reached your door 
              C
I stopped and looked above to 
Am
Pray to anyone who’d hear me 
F
Getting the pluck 
                            G
To wish myself luck and say


           C
You’re the reason to my rhyme 
           Am
And it’s a shame, no it’s a crime 
              F
That I’ve not told you that I love(d) you 
           Fm
Cause I’ve never found the time,
          C
You’re my happiness and sadness, 
           Am
You’re the method to my madness 
F
Nobody I’d rather be with, 
Fm                      C
Nobody I’d ever be with


C                F
And through your bedroom window
G             C
I saw you and you saw me
              F                 G
The young man lying on your bed
                C
Was right where I could clearly
Am
See him telling you what I had
F
Wanted to say, from the
                       G
Very first day we met


           C
You’re the reason to my rhyme 
           Am
And it’s a shame, no it’s a crime 
              F
That I’ve not told you that I love(d) you 
           Fm
Cause I’ve never found the time,
          C
You’re my happiness and sadness, 
           Am
You’re the method to my madness
F
Nobody I’d rather be with, 
Fm                      C
Nobody I’d ever be with


C           F                  G
So two days passed and then at last
              C
I thought I’d try and ring you
               F               G
And see if you were free, then maybe we
      C
Could go to town and
Am                               F
Get some food and see a film you wanted to see,
                            G
And then afterwards we’d go home
C                     F
You said that sounded great,
    G                 C
But you’d a date with that young man who
           F
I had seen previously
        G           C
The time I had come round to see you
Am                                F
And I don’t think I can hold this in any more
                              G
So I’m sorry if I bore you to death,


               C
But you’re the reason to my rhyme 
           Am
And it’s a shame, no it’s a crime 
              F
That I’ve not told you that I love(d) you 
           Fm
Cause I’ve never found the time,
          C
You’re my happiness and sadness, 
           Am
You’re the method to my madness 
F
Nobody I’d rather be with, 
Fm                      
Nobody I’d ever,


           C
You’re the reason to my rhyme 
           Am
And it’s a shame, no it’s a crime 
              F
