Capo on 2nd fret

G                                 G
well I can't tell you why I left you
                                A
and I don't quite know why I'm here
                           D
but nothing has moved my spirit
                           G
since I saw you late last year

G                      G
every lover knows a reason
                              A
and every woman has felt the same
                                   D
although our minds record each heartache
                                   G
a little lovin' can take away the pain

(chorus)
G                           G
hold me, hold me, hold me close
                            A
caress my shoulders and my toes
                     D
make me forget what I can't
                   G
be my lover and my man

G                          G
a man he gives you all you need
                                          A
(ooo)
some money to spend and a kiss when you please
                               D
(ooo)
when you're broke down on the road
                                    G
(ooo)
he'll come on by and lighten your load

G                                 G
well I guess I owe you something too
                                        A
well it seems you've finally come on through
                              D
and my southern manners do oblige
                                       G
won't you come on over for a slice of pie?

(chorus)
G                           G
hold me, hold me, hold me close
                            A
caress my shoulders and my toes
                     D
make forget what I can't
                   G
be my lover and my man
