The Everly Brothers
Always It’s You (1961)
(Felice & Boudleaux Bryant)
From: “A Date With The Everly Brothers”

Intro: | F | Gm | Am Bb Am Gm | C |

When I feel downhearted
When I’m feeling blue
When I’m low and lonely
Who do I turn to?
It’s you, always it’s you
( Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/e/everly_brothers/always_its_you_crd.html )
When I’m dreaming daydreams
Who comes into view?
Who shares all my daydreams
Who makes them come true?
It’s you, always it’s you

When I feel like smiling
You’re the reason why
If I ever lost you
I’d cry and cry

Oh, hold me close, my true love
Kiss me tenderly
There is only one love
One alone for me
It’s you, always it’s you
Always it’s you

Verse :

G C
I’ve gotta stand tall
You know a man can’t crawl
For when he knows you tell lies and he hears ‘em passin’ by
He’s not a man at all

[–]
[repeat chorus]

Don’t want your love anymore
Don’t want your kisses that’s for sure
I die each time I hear this sound
Here he comes, that’s Cathy’s clown

[repeat verse]

When you see me shed a tear and you know that it’s sincere
Dontcha think it’s kinda sad that you’re treatin’ me so bad
Or don’t you even care

[repeat chorus]

Don’t want your love anymore
Don’t want your kisses that’s for sure
I die each time I hear this sound
Here he comes, that’s Cathy’s clown

VERSE
Your lips that once thrilled me
Now frown and disagree
Your words have lost that tender touch

CHORUS
That’s just too much
To take
Too much

VERSE
Your arms that once held me
Feel cold and just chill me
Somehow they’ve lost their tender touch

CHORUS
That’s just too much
To bear
Too much

MIDDLE 8
Could I have been so young and blind
To think you loved me all this time

VERSE
Your lips that once thrilled me
Now frown and disagree
Your words have lost that tender touch

CHORUS
That’s just too much
To take
Too much
To bear
Too much
To take

(repeat and fade)
