Runga's song "Sway", along with a duet with Dan Wilson of Semisonic called "Good Morning Baby", both made their way into the film American Pie.

INTRO: D E D E

Verse 1
A C#m
Don't stray, don't ever go away

D
I should be much too smart for this

You know it gets the better of me

A C#m
Sometimes, when you and I collide

D E
I fall into an ocean of you, pull me out in time

F#m C#m
Don't let me drown, let me down

D E
I say it's all because of you

A C#m
And here I go, losing my control

D
I'm practising your name so I can say it to your face

A C#m
It doesn't seem right, to look you in the eye

D
Let all the things you mean to me

E
Come tumbling out my mouth

F#m C#m
Indeed it's time to tell you why

D E
I say it's infintely true

CHORUS:

A E F#m
Say you'll stay, don't come and go

C#m E
Like you do

A E F#m
Sway my way, yeah I need to know

C#m
All about you

Verse 2 (same chord pattern):
And there's no cure, and no way to be sure
Why everything's turned inside out
Instilling so much doubt
It makes me so tired - I feel so uninspired
My head is battling with my heart
My logic has been torn apart
And now it all turns sour
Come sweeten every afternoon

(repeat CHORUS twice)

E D
It's all because of you

E D
It's all because of you

F#m C#m D E
Now it all turns sour, come sweeten every afternoon

F#m C#m D E
It's time to tell you why, I say it's infinitely true


(repeat CHORUS twice)

It's all because of you
It's all because of you
It's all because of you
