Two-fingered piano riff that leads into most verses:

        This version is        Something like this sounds
        pretty much like       not as 'thin' for one
        the piano part...      guitar playing alone...

        searchin' everywhere

        F           G           C       C/G    F

        and if it don't come easily
        Dm            Am      Bb
        one thing you must believe
                Bb          F        C
        you can always have trust in me
                   Dm         Am     Bb

        not yours, it's not mine, no
        Bb     C       F
        love's only to share
        Am       Bb          C    F               Bb
        turn and swear, it's everywhere, standin' there

        'cause it's always been there
