G, Am  D

Verse 1:

G                G6       Gmaj7     G6       G      G6  Gmaj7  G6
 Nothing you can say, can tear me a-way from my guy.
G                  G6           Gmaj7      G6       B7
 Nothing you could do, 'cos I'm stuck like glue, to my guy.

Chorus 1:

    Am             D           Am         D
I'm sticking to my guy, like a stamp to a letter;
     Am       D            Am (n.C)
Like birds of feather; we, stick together.
      G                 Gmaj7    Am              D7        G      Am  D
I can tell you from the start; I can't be torn a-part from my guy.

Verse 2:

G                  G6        Gmaj7         G6       G      G6  Gmaj7  G6
 Nothing you could do, could make me be un-true, to my guy.
G                  G6         Gmaj7          G6      B7
 Nothing you could buy, could make me tell a lie, to my guy.

Chorus 2:

  Am      D       Am      D
I gave my guy my, word of honour;
Am     D             Am (n.C)
 To be faithful; and I'm gonna.
      G          Gmaj7      Am          D7      G      Am  D
You'd best be be-lieving; I won't be de-ceiving my guy.

Bridge 1:

     Am          D         Am         D
As a matter of o-pinion; I think he's tops;
Am          D            G            Gmaj7
 My opinion is; he's the cream of the crop.
     Em        Bm        Em    Bm
As a matter of taste; to be ex-act;
A7                   D7
 He's my ideal, as a matter of fact.

Verse 3:

   G            G6         Gmaj7   G6         G      G6  Gmaj7  G6
No muscle bound man, could take my hand, from my guy.
   G        G6               Gmaj7    G6       G      G6  Gmaj7  G6
No handsome face, could ever take the place of my guy.

Chorus 3:

   Am      D    Am    D
He may not be a movie star;
            Am             D      Am (n.C)
But when it comes to being happy; we are.
              G      Gmaj7        Am        D7       G      Am  D
There's not a man to-day, who can take me a-way from my guy.

   G        G6               Gmaj7    G6       G      G6  Gmaj7  G6
No handsome face, could ever take the place of my guy.
