    Cadd9                Fmaj7         Dm9           F/G       Am7
...nothing you can do to turn me away,      nothing anyone can say,
       F#m7    B7            Em7
You're with me now, and, as long as you stay,
A7sus4                          Dmaj7   
Loving you's the right thing to do---------,   
                               (Loving you's the right thing!)

 Dm7             Fmaj7 Dm7/G
Loving you's the right thing!

                   Cadd9                              Fmaj7
Oh, oh - oh, oh, I know you've had some bad luck with ladies before,
      Dm9               F/G         Am7
They drove you, or you drove them, crazy,
               F#m7       B7                Em7
But, more im - portant is I know you're the one,
               A7sus4                          Dmaj7
And I'm sure...loving you's the right thing to do----------,
                                             (Loving you's the right thing!)

                      Dm7     Dm7             G/C   G/C
Oh, hoh - hoh, and it used to be, for a while-----,
                       ^      ^                ^     ^
          Am9               Gm7     C
That the river flowed right to my door,
 Dm7     Dm7               G/C      G/C
Making me... just a little too free,
  ^       ^                 ^        ^              
             Am9                  Gm7       C7     F
But now the river doesn't seem to stop here any - more!
