E            Dm7
I don't know why
   E              Dm7
I love you like I do
     E          Dm7
but baby I love you
     E              Dm7
and always I'll be true
E          Dm7
I know sometimes
     E               Dm7
you treat me like a fool
        E               Dm7
try to bend me to your rules
       E                Dm7
but I love you all the same


B           A
'cause when we're together
         G          E
and everything's alright
       Dm7          E
I'm a king for the day

I don't know why
I fall but don't fall down
but I never touch the ground
whenever you're around
I don't know where
we may be tomorrow
if you lead I will follow
and we'll get there just the same


I'll always love you
every day and night
come and take me away


F#/Ab                          F#
can't you see that you're the only one
    D    E   F#/Ab
and I'm open wide
                            F#
you saved me from being a lonely one
     D     E   F#/Ab
you caught me inside
                 F#
with a feeling I can't resist
     D   E  F#/Ab
you take me away
                    F#
and I'll never get over this
   D   E
a king today
