                            AL GREEN

INTRO: F#m  E  F#m

VERSE:
F#m
I can't believe that it's real,
    Bm                   F#m
the way that you make me feel.
F#m
A burning deep down inside,
  Bm                 F#m
a love that I cannot hide.

VERSE:
F#m                     Bm
I know it's you and me baby, that
      C#                 F#m
that makes the world go round.
    Bm
And if you've been doin' lovin' with me,
 C#                    F#m
layin' all my troubles down,

CHORUS:
           A
Ah, here I am, 
          E
come and take me.
            A
here I am, baby,
          E
come and take me.
                A
take me by the hand.
     E
Oh, Show me,
             A    E    F#m
here I am, baby.

VERSE:
F#m
It always ends up this way,
     Bm              F#m
me begging you every day.
F#m
A love that I cannot have,
Bm                      F#m
you broke my heart into half.

VERSE:
F#m                     Bm
I know it's you and me baby, that
      C#                 F#m
that makes the world go round.
    Bm
And if you've been doin' lovin' with me,
 C#                    F#m
layin' all my troubles down,

CHORUS:
           A   
Ah, here I am, 
          E
come and take me.
            A
here I am, baby,
          E
come and take me.
                A
take me by the hand.
      E
Ah, squeeze it
            A     E   F#m
here I am, baby.

BRIDGE:
F#m       A                 E
When I'm down I can always call you,
                D
for a helpin' hand.
                              F#m E F#m
I know you'll do the best you can.
                   A
But it don't take much from me,
                E
just my cup of joe.
                  D         
Oh there's love inside me,
                               F#m E F#m
I believe there's one to be explodin',
       A
It's tough for me, oh baby,
           E
I can do worry,
                    D
tell me all your troubles.
                          F#m E F#m
You won't ever have to worry now,
               A
Just one more thing, ask everybody,
           E
everybody you see,      
                 D                          F#m E F#m
you'll find yourself lost and alone on a darkened street,

CHORUS:
            A
here I am, baby
          E
come and take me.
            A
here I am, baby,
          E
come and take me.
                A
take me by the hand.
  E
Show me, ..... fade out
