Tom: C

              C                         F                                 G
If you’re the sun, I don’t wanna be the moon, the moons too far away from you
                                C*
I’d rather envelope you in the bluest of skies
                C                        F                                            G
If you’re the rain I don’t wanna be the stormy weather clouds you leap from when you touch the ground I’d
       C
rather splash with you

[chorus]

    Am                  F                            C                              G
And ohhhh oh don’t say opposites attract I’d rather fight you over things we both like
      Am                F                                  C                  G             C
And ohhhh oh don’t make up for what I lack I don’t need a missing piece just someone at my back

[Verse 2]
             C                             F                                      G
And I don’t need matching outfits or your keys though I would surely like those things if you wanna a piece of
         C*
 me I’ll just run to you
                   C                                   F                                       G
Cause when you’re near the rain is gone and skies are clear who needs the sun to shine I when you can smile
                 C
 wider than the sky

[Chorus]

Am                  F                           C                              G
Ohhhh oh don’t say opposites attract I’d rather fight you over things we both like
Am                  F                                 C                   G            C
Ohhhh oh don’t make up for what I lack I don’t need a missing piece just someone at my back

[Bridge]
           Am                                      F                               C
Just be my friend and when the night gets cold get close and on a good day love me most call your mother
       G
every other Sunday babe
          Am                               F                            C
and don’t pretend if you need my hand hold tight sun or moon or rain or shine
                          G
Who needs a metaphor when I can love you even more

[Verse 3]
                  C*                        F*                    G*                        C*
But if you’re the left shoe I can’t be the right I’m just another pair that's just a little tight when I get

moody
         C                              F                              G
The only matching thing I need is maybe matching little rings that can wait for when we’re 80 and out of
C
options

[Chorus]
Am                  F                           C                             G
Ohhhh oh don’t say opposites attract I’d rather fight you over things we both like
Am                  F                                 C                  G             C
Ohhhh oh don’t make up for what I lack I don’t need a missing piece just someone at my back
Am                              F           C
I don’t need a missing piece to fill in the cracks
Am                                F*      G*    C*
I don’t need a missing piece just someone at my back
