Verse2:
Now (Em) some people (C) think I'm a (D) loser,

When you (Em) wrap me in (C) your arms so (G) tight
(C) Please tell me you will (D) remember,
(C) No matter how much I do (Cm) wrong

(Em) Don't think I (C) take you for (D) granted,
girl I (Em) know just how (C) lucky I (G) am
(C) Know you deserve so much (D) better,
you (C) won't find devotion more (Cm) true

Girl (G) I've had the best of (C/A) intentions,
Yes, (G) I've had the best of (C) intentions (D) loving (Em)you (C) (D)
* A couple of little explanations about this song. Travis uses a simple Em C
D
progression during most of the song. That was the major correction I made to
this song.
When I first saw it there wasn't an Em in the whole thing.
Just a little side note for the ending. At the very end he repeats the "I
had the best
intentions" line three times. On the last time after the word loving he
sings "you" but
hits the Em while singing it. So basically when he sings "you" you start
playing the intro
then slide into a nice little resolved ending.
Please feel free to e-mail me with any questions you have or to

Peace and Love.
