Don’t go changing                     to try to please me
           Gm         D/F#                  Am7  D7                G 7
You never let me down before          --  mmm              hmmm
        Gm6       D/F#                         Bm7           Bm7/E
Don’t imagine                    you’re too familiar
             E9      G/A
And I don’t see you anymore


 D           Bm6      Gmaj7                    Bm    D7          Gmaj7
I would not leave you            in times of trouble
          Gm                      D/F#    Am7 D7          Gmaj7
We never could have come this far  -- mmmm   hmmm
           Gm6          D/F#                        Bm7       Em7
I took the good times,        I’ll take the bad times
              G/A               D   Gm6/D  G/D   D    Gm6/D    G/D      G
I’ll take you just the way you are
                A                   F#m7  B7     Em7
I need you to know that you will always be 
                A              D
The same old someone that I knew
Am/C     Bb                C                          Am7   D   D7   Gm7
Oh        what will it take for you to believe in me
             C                          G/A
The way that I believe in you
D           Bm6      Gmaj7                   Bm       D7        Gmaj7
I said I love you           and that’s forever
             Gm                   D/F#         Am7 D7    Gmaj7
And this I promise from the heart            -- mm   mmmm
            Gm6      D/F#                Bm7         Em7
I could not love you               any better
               G/A              D   Gm6/D  G/D   D    Gm6/D    G/D      D
I love you just the way you are

 D            Bm6   G7      Bm        D7        Gmaj7
I don’t want clever    conversation
        Gm                   D/F#      Am7  D7        Gmaj7
I never want to work that hard --     mm hmmm
            Gm6       D/F#                        Bm7           Em7
I just want someone               that I can talk to
         G/A                   Bb   C   Am7   D7   Gm7   A7   Dmaj7
I want you just the way you are
