C      	                   Am 	 Em 	C
When you feel like you've fallen out of use,
      D     G
Come by my side,
C      	             Am       Em     C
The starved pain my girl you have induced,
      D          G
Come dine by my side,

Everything she said to me was true
So now I know why
You look blue, it's eating through you
So come by my side

Chorus:
Dm                         C    F    G Em F Dm
Don't want to fall out of love with you,
                          C    F    G	
Don't let me fall out of love with you,

I'll dig down and I'll search for a heart of gold
In your diamond mind
Don't you know I'd farm the world
To come dine by your side

Everything you say to me gets through
So now I know why I'm not through with life
Because of you
So come by my side

Chorus

C                     Am         G
Girl you know that I still need you,
C                     Am     G
Pick it up and we'll find a way,
C                      Am         G
Don't you know that I still need you,
C                     Am     G
Look it up and we'll find a way,

G        F
Da da da da,
G        F
Da da da dam,
G
Da da da da,
G
Da da da da,
G        F
Da da da da,
G        F
Da da da da,

Da da da da,

                         Em   F    Dm
Don't wanna fall out of love with you,
                          Em   F    Dm
Don't let me fall out of love with you,
                         Em   F    Dm
Don't wanna fall out of love with you,
                          Em   F    G
Don't let me fall out of love with you.
