       G#               A#
I've seen your face a thousand times
     Gm                G#
Have all your stories memorized
      G#                 A#
I've kissed your lips a million ways
       Gm                     G#
But I still love to have you around

I've held you too many times to count
I think I know you inside out
And we're together most days
But I still love to have you around

    Cm         A#    G#
And you're the one I want
Gm       Fm  Cm      A#
And it's not just a phase
    Cm         A#     G#
And you're the one I trust
Gm   Fm         Cm    A#
Our love is the real thing

Chorus:
          G#
Don't go away
    A#
My love (my love)
               Gm
I want you to stay
       G#
In my life
Don't go away
    A#
My lover (my love)
    Gm            G#
I'm happiest when we spend time

You're a salty water ocean wave
You knock me down, you kiss my face
I know the storms will always come
But I still love to have you around

And Heaven knows what will come next
So emotional, you're so complex
A rollercoaster built to crash
But I still love to have you around

And you're the one I want,
And it's not just a phase
And you're the one I trust,
Our love is the real thing

Chorus

It's you there when I close my eyes
And you in the morning
I never thought you'd still be mine
Or I'd really need to have you around

Chorus:
Don't go away
My love (My love)
I want you to stay
In my life
Don't go away
My lover (My love)
I need you, you're my love supply
Don't go away
In my love supply
I want you to stay
In my life (Every day, every day)
Don't go away
My lover (My love supply)

I need you, you're my love supply
