Have only seen Will Young perform this on a V Festival solo piece at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4-CDVNMZMc.
It's a beautiful rendition of an overlooked classic originally by Horse.
The chords are very simple, with the same structure for all sections - intro, outro,
verse and chorus. However, the vocal melody changes for the chorus. Simple, but brilliant,
I am sure you will agree!!
The tuning standard but dropped a half-tone for Will's voice, so the chords and shapes
assume you have dropped a semitone. It's played fingerstyle, and the top E string is
rarely sounded on this version, hence the x's!

Intro
=====
Verse I
=======
Sunshine on your upturned face
Everything falls into place
Blue sky a-bove, sand underfoot
The happi-est I've seen you look
Sunrise stirs the low landscape
So beauti-ful I cannot breathe
Boats out to sea, gulls in the air
It might look as if I didn't care
Chorus I
=========
Careful with me, careful with my heart
The world keeps turning, my world falls apart
When you're out of reach
When you're out of reach
Verse II
========
Fool or wise no in between
I've been there and I cannot win
If this love should suffer sudden death
It won't be be-cause I'm not myself
I don't for-get depend upon
The fact you always break my heart
Over and over and over and over
Over and over and over
Chorus II
=========
Careful with me, careful with my heart
The world keeps turning, my world falls apart
When you're out of reach
When you're out of reach
Chorus III
==========
Careful with me, careful with my heart
The world keeps turning, my world falls apart
When you're out of reach
When you're out of reach
Outro
=====
Careful with me
Because you.....
