GIs (320003@1)there ever enough space between us 
                           D7To (xx0212@1)keep us both honest and true
 
Why is it so hard just to sit in the yard 
                        GAnd (320003@1)stare at the sky so blue

G (320003@1)   
I've got a new way of walking and a new way of talking 
                      CHoney (x32010@1)when I'm around you
                                             GBut (320003@1)it gives me the blues when I've got some good news 
    D (xx0232@1)                         GAnd (320003@1)you're not there to bring it to
 
  G (320003@1)Life is a blessing it's a delicatessen
                             D7Of (xx0212@1)all the little favors you do
 
All wrapped up together no matter the weather
                     GBaby (320003@1)you always come through

GIt's (320003@1)a measure of treasure that gives me the pleasure 
                        COf (x32010@1)loving you the way I do 
                                       GAnd (320003@1)you know I would gladly say I need your love badly 
    D (xx0232@1)                         GAnd (320003@1)bring these little things to you

           D (xx0232@1)                 GWell (320003@1)I got some  gold inside me too

GWell (320003@1)I'm thinking I'm knowing that I gotta be going 
                          DYou (xx0232@1)know I hate to say so long
                              
It gives me an ocean of mixed up emotion 
                              GI'll (320003@1)have to work it out in a song

GWell (320003@1)I'm leaving a lot for the little I got 
                                 CBut (x32010@1)you know a lot a little will do 
                                               GAnd (320003@1)if you give me your love I'll let it shine up above
