E       A                     B
Oh my life, is changing everyday
                E
every possible way
E           A                             B
Though my dreams, it's never quite as it seems

                   E
never quite as it seems

E                          A
I know I felt like this before
                        B
but now I feel it even more
                      E
because it came from you

E                   A
Then I open up and see
                             B
the person fumbling here is me
                    E
a different way to be

|   G   |   C   |   G   |   C   |  

E       A                     B
I want more, impossible to ignore
                 E
impossible to ignore
E              A                      B
They'll come true, impossible not to do
                   E
impossible not to do

E                   A
Now I tell you openly
                                 B
you have my heart so don't hurt me
                    E
for what I could't find

E                   A
Talk to me amazing mind
                         B
so understanding and so kind
                      E
You're everything to me
E
       A                     B
Oh my life is changing everyday
                E
every possible way
E                        A                 B
Though my dreams, it's never quite as it seems
                          E
'cause you're a dream to me

dream to me

If you, if you could return
              A
don't let it burn

don't let it fade
                       C
I'm sure I might been rude

but it's just your attitude
                  G
it's tearing me apart

it's ruining everyday

    D
I swore, I swore I would be true
                  A
but honey so did you
                             C
so why were you holding her hand

is that the way we stand
                        G
were you lying all the time

was it just a game to you

                 D
But I miss something
                     A
You know I'm such a fool for you
                                C
You got me wrapped around your finger
                       G
Do you have to let it linger

do you have to, do you have to
                       D
do you have to let it linger

       A
Oh I thought I loved you
          CI thoght nothing could go wrong
            G
but I was wrong

I was wrong

    D
If you, if you could get by
               A
trying not to lie
                          C
Things wouldn't be so confused

and I wouldn't feel so used
                     G
but you always ruin you

I just wanna be with you

                 D
And I miss something
                     A        
You know I'm such a fool for you
                                 C
You got me wrapped around your finger
                       G
Do you have to let it linger

do you have to, do you have to

Dm            Bb
Sitting in an armchair with my 
F              C
head between my hands
Dm                Bb
Wouldn't have to be like this if you'd 
F           C
only understand

Dm          Bb
Too many misunderstandings 
F               C
causing such delay
Dm             Bb
If it doesn't work like this I'll 
F            C
try another way

Dm    Bb     F                  C
Oh...   ...This is the way you wanted it
Dm    Bb      F            C
Oh...   ...I didn't understand              (*2)

      Dm             Bb
You know that all I wanted was to 
F                 C
be there by your side
    Dm             Bb
And if you didn't want it well you 
  F               C
shouldn't have denied
      Dm                Bb
You knew that you were someone special 
F                C
right from the start
    Dm               Bb

But if you treat me badly we'd 
F            C
better off apart

Dm    Bb     F                  C
Oh...   ...This is the way you wanted it
Dm    Bb      F            C
Oh...   ...I didn't understand              (*2)

           Bm               F3m        G            D
And people everywhere think something better than I am.

Be With You

They play this song - | Bb | F  | Gm | Eb |    
but I chose to play it like you can with almost 
any of Cranberries songs, in the chords G, D, Em, C.

|   G  |   D   |  Em   |   C  |

G            D
Lying in my bed again
       Em                    C
And I cry 'cause you're not here
G             D
Crying in my head again
       Em                  C
And I know that it's not clear

          G               D
Put your hands, put your hands
           Em                          C
Inside my face and see that it's just you
          G
But it's bad and it's mad
          D
And it's making me sad
        Em               C
Because I can't be with you

         G            D           Em            C
Be with you, be with you, be with you, be with you
         G            D        Em               C
be with you, be with you, baby I can't be with you

  G               D
Thinking back on how things were 
     Em              C
and how we loved so well
   G                D
I wanted to be the mother of your child
     Em                C
and now it's just farewell

          G           
Put your hands in my hands
     D
and come with me
       Em          C
We'll find another end
        G
And my head, and my head
    D
On anyone's shoulder
       Em               C
'Cause I can't be with you

         G            D           Em            C
Be with you, be with you, be with you, be with you
         G            D        Em               C
be with you, be with you, baby I can't be with you

                   G                D
'Cause you're not here, you're not here
     Em               C
Baby I can't be with you
                   G                D
'Cause you're not here, you're not here
        Em                C
Baby, still in love with you

Same chords throughout the whole song, over and over again.

|  Em  |   C   |   G   |   D  |

Em       C
Another head hangs lowly
G                D
Child is slowly taken

Em                C
And the violence caused such silence
G              D
Who are we mistaken

         Em
May you see, it's not me
          C
it's not my family
         G
in your head, in your head
          D
they're fighting
            Em
With their tanks, and their bombs
           C
and their bombs, and their guns
         G
In your head, in your head
          D
They're crying

         Em            C
In your head, in your head
    G               D
Zombie, Zombie, Zombie eh eh eh
                Em            C
What's in your head, in your head 
    G               D
Zombie, Zombie, Zombie eh eh eh oh

  Em     C
Another mother's breaking
 G              D
heart is taken over
         Em       C
And the violence causes silence
G             D
we must be mistaken

          Em                   C
It's the same old theme since 1916
         G
in your head, in your head
                 D
they're still fighting
            Em
With their tanks, and their bombs
           C
and their bombs, and their guns
         G
In your head, in your head
         D
They're dying

         Em            C
In your head, in your head
    G               D
Zombie, Zombie, Zombie eh eh 
                Em            C
What's in your head, in your head

Zombie, Zombie, Zombie eh eh oh

And there's no other place that I'd lay down my face
C             G         Am      F
dreaming my dreams with you                        (*2)

|   C   |   G   |   Am  |   F   |          (till end)
