[Opening]
[A] [G#] [C#m] [B] [E]
Kelangan mong ma[A]laman
Kung kelan ka ka[G#]ilangan
[verse 2]
Parang di na nara[C#m]nasang
Ikaw naman ang ipa[B]glaban [E]mm
Bakit ba laging isi[A]nasantabi
Ang iyong sarili para [G#]sa iba
Naghahangad sa taong [C#m]di babalik
Subukan mo namang ma[B]gpahin[E]ga
[chorus]
At dahan [A]dahang ihiga ang [G#]katawan
Ng iyong ma[C#m]lamang di ka nagii[B]sa [E]
Halika [A]na’t di kailangang pili[G#]tin
Dahil para [C#m]sakin ika’y mahalaga [B] [E]
[Closing]
Meron ngang pu[A]so
Ngunit hindi mo naki[G#]kita ito
Kahit pa tayo’y nasa su[C#m]lok
Di ka parin magpapa[B]suyo [E]
Konting pilit pa [A]ba ang kailangan
O sadyang [G#]di ako ang gusto
Konting silip na[C#m]man sa aking nararamdaman
Sa[B]yo[E]
[chorus]
At dahan [A]dahang ihiga ang [G#]katawan
Ng iyong ma[C#m]lamang di ka nagii[B]sa [E]

Dahil para [C#m]sakin ika’y mahalaga [B] [E]
