Two arms to hold you and a voice to say

"That's all right,

You can spend the night." Well,

Come around

Make me stay when I
E(add9) Riff
Feel that way
Verse 3:
E(add9) Riff ----------------------------------------------
And if my words don't say the things they were meant to say
E(add9) Riff ----------------------------
And if confusion comes and carries all my

Words away
Amaj7 ----------------------------------------------------
And if you still don't understand "I Wanna Hold Your Hand"

Anyway . . . Stray . . .
