Whenever I see your smiling face,  
  A       E/G#    F#m7    A/B     E        C#m7   F#m7  A/B
I have to smile myself, because I love you.
    E             B/D#    C#m7          E/B
And when you give me that pretty little pout
   A        E/G#   F#m7    
it turns me inside out.
        A/B       E        C#m7          F#m7  B   Ab7/C
There's something about you baby, I don't know.


C#m       Abm      A        Bbdim    B    Ab7/C  C#m7   E/B
Isn't it amazing a man like me   can feel this   way
A                E/G#                  F#m7           A   B
Tell me how much longer.  It will grow stronger every day
Abm          C#
Oh, how much longer


  F#               C#/F        Ebm7      F#/C# 
I thought I was in love just a couple of times 
  B             F#/Bb     Abm7      B/C#  
before with the girl next door, but that was
F#            Ebm7              Abm7        B/C#
long before I met you.  Now I'm sure that I won't forget you.
      F#       C#/F   Ebm7  F#/C# 
And I thank my lucky  stars   that 
B       F#/Bb   Abm7    B/C#  
you are who you are and not just
 F#            Ebm7              Abm7     C#     Bb7/D
another lovely lady sent down to break my heart.


Ebm       Bbm      B        Cdim     C#   Bb7/D  Ebm7   F#/C#
Isn't it amazing a man like me   can feel this   way
B                F#/Bb                Abm7           
Tell me how much longer.  It can grow stronger every day
