Chorus 1:

F             Dm
 How sweet it is,

To be loved by you.
F             Dm
 How sweet it is,
      G7       C    F7
To be loved by you.

Verse 1:

  C
I needed the shelter,
   Am
Of someone's arms,
G              F7
 And there you were.
  C
I needed someone,
   Am
To understand,
My ups and downs,
G              F7
 And there you were.

Bridge 1:

C
 With sweet love,
       F7
And de-votion,
C
 Deeply touching,
     F7
My e-motion.
  C
I want to stop,
              F7
And thank you baby,
  C
I want to stop,
              F7
And thank you baby.

Chorus 2:

To be loved by you.
F             Dm
 How sweet it is,
      G7       C    F7
To be loved by you.

Verse 2:

  C                Am
I close my eyes at night,
G
 And wonder what would I,
        F7
Be with-out you in my life?
C           Am
 Everything was just a bore,
G
 All the things I did,
F7
 Seems I done 'em before.

Bridge 2:

C
 But you brightened up,
F7
 All my days,
C               F7
 With a love so sweet,
In so many ways.
  C
I want to stop,
              F7
And thank you baby,
  C
I want to stop,
              F7
And thank you baby.

 How sweet it is,
      G7       C    C7
To be loved by you.

 How sweet it is,
      G7       C    F7
To be loved by you.

C  Am, G  F7

Bridge 4:

C
 You were better to me,
       F7
Than I been for myself.
C
 For me, there's you,
    F7
And nobody else.
  C
I want to stop,
              F7
And thank you baby,
  C
I want to stop,
              F7
And thank you baby.

To be loved by you.

 How sweet it is,
      G7       C    C7
To be loved by you.
