Chords

This was mostly played by ear. It can be adjusted to Capo 2 as well to get the key of the Broadway recording. A little tip for the "you matter to me" parts in the chorus: the *in-between* chords don't have to be strummed in full if it's too hard to switch chords quickly. The 4th-6th string/s can just be plucked to get the *rising* effect (sorry, can't explain it properly but hopefully it makes sense)

[Intro] A Bm G [Verse]
A                      Bm                       G
I could find the whole meaning of life in those sad eyes

A                        Bm                       G
They've seen things that you never quite say, but I hear

A                       Bm                 G
Come out of hiding, I'm right here beside you

          A             Bm          G
And I'll stay there as long as you let me
[Chorus]
        D   D  E D/F# G
Because you matter to me

Bm                   A                    G
Simple and plain and not much to ask from somebody

D   D  E D/F# A   Bm
You matter to me

              G   D               A    Bm
I promise you do, you, you matter too

              G   D    Em   D/F#    G
I promise you do, you see?

               E
You matter to me
[Verse 2]
                   F#m                    D
It's addictive the minute you let yourself think

      E                F#m                D
The things that I say just might matter to someone

E                          F#m             D
All of this time I've been keeping my mind on the running away

             E            F#m                  D
And for the first time I think I'd consider the stay
[Chorus]
        A   A  Bm C#/A D
Because you matter to me

F#m                   E                    D
Simple and plain and not much to ask from somebody

A   A  Bm C#/A E  F#m
You matter to me

              D   A               E    F#m
I promise you do, you, you matter too

              D   A    Bm   C#/A    D
I promise you do, you see?

               E
You matter to me

Simple and plain and not much to ask from somebody

You matter too
(As long as you have me)
