Fmaj9                 Gm7    C     Ebmaj9 Gm7 C  
Cherish is the word I use to des...cribe..
        Fmaj9                      Gm7      C     Ebmaj9 Gm7 C        
all the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside.
C              Am7                                   Bb
you don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you..
               Am7                                     Bb
you don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you..
               Am7                                     Bb
you don't know how many times I've wished that I could mould you..
Am7  Gm7               Bb                               C
into someone who could cherish me as much as I, cherish you.

Fmaj9                   Gm7       C     Ebmaj9 Gm7 C
Perish is the word that more than app...lies..
       Fmaj9                 Gm7    C      Ebmaj9 Gm7 C
to the hope in my heart each time I real...ize..
C         Am7                                Bb
that I am not gonna be the one to share your dreams..
          Am7                                Bb
that I am not gonna be the one to share your schemes..
          Am7                                Bb
that I am not gonna be the one to share what seems to be 
    Am7  Gm7            Bb                       C
the life that you could cherish as much as I do, yours.

CHORUS:
C         Gm7                   C
Oh, I'm beginning to think that man has never found,
    Am7                            E
the words that could make you want me..
              C                        F              Dm
that have the right amount of letters, just the right sound,
           Bb             Gm7                        Eb
that could make you hear, make you see, that you are driving 
             C
me out of my mind.

C                 Fmaj9                    C                    
Oh, I could say I need you, but then you'd realize
       Cm                    D9
that I want you, just like a thousand other guys
               Bb                      C
who'd say they loved you, with all the rest of their lies
              Dm            Bb         Am7        Gm7
when all they wanted was to touch your face, your hands
                   Eb  C D
and gaze into your eyes.
