[Verse 1]

G                Em
Down, down in my bones
                         C
Somewhere I'd never have known
                        D
Right at the back of my head
G                        Em
It hit me like a beam of light
                          C
Hit me like a hook of the right
                             D
And I could have fell to the floor


          G                               Em
Cause you talk to me and it comes off the wall
    C                              D
You talk to me and it goes over my head
         G                                  Em
So let's go to bed before you say something real
      C                                D
Let's go to bed before you say how you feel


[Chorus]
          G
Cause it's you
         Em
Oh, it's always you
      C
Oh, I always knew
         D
Oh, it's you


[Verse 2]
G                Em
I try my best to unwind
              C                        D
Nothing on my mind, nothin' at all but you
 G                      Em
Oblivious to all that I owe
    C                     D
I'm hanging on to what I don't know


         G                                Em
So let's go to bed before you say something real
      C                               D
Let's go to bed before you say how you feel


[Chorus]
           G
Cause it's you
         Em
Oh, it's always you
      C
Oh, I always knew
         D
Oh, baby it's you
D
Yeah,
      G           Em
And I knew, yes I always knew
      C
Yes I always knew
            D
Oh baby its you


[Hook]
                          G
You used to call me on my cell phone
                    Em
Late night when you need my love
              C
Call me on my cell phone
                    D
Late night when you need my love
                     G
And I know when that hotline bling
               Em
That can only mean one thing
                 C
I know when that hotline bling
                   D
That can only mean one thing


[Verse 3]
                           G
Ever since I left the city you
                         Em
Got a reputation for yourself now
                           C
Everybody knows and I feel left out
                                 D
Girl you got me down, you got me stressed out
                                  G
'Cause ever since I left the city you
                               Em
Started wearing less and goin' out more
                                C
Glasses of champagne out on the dance floor
                                   D
Hangin' with some girls I've never seen before


[Hook]
                          G
You used to call me on my cell phone
                    Em
Late night when you need my love
              C
Call me on my cell phone
                    D
Late night when you need my love
