Verse 1:
           G5
      Many guys have come to you

      With a line that wasn't true

      Am7 Bm7 Am7/D

      And you passed them by (passed them by)
                G5
      Now you're in the center ring

      And their lines don't mean a thing
           A5  B5 A5
      Why don't you let me try (let me try)

      Now I don't wear a diamond ring
              A5                 A5
      I don't even have a song to sing
      B5
      All I know is

      E5           B5           A5 A5

      I love you
           B5

       2:  Oh... baby]
      E5           B5           A5 A5
      La la la la  la la la la  la  means
       G5             [harmonies imply Gmaj9]
      I love you

Verse 2:

      If I ever saw a girl

      That I needed in this world

      You are the one for me (one for me)

      Let me hold me in my arms

      Girl, and thrill you with my charms

      I'm sure you will see (you will see)

      The things I am sayin' are true

      And the way I explain them to you

      Listen to me
