My Baby
from Get Close

Happy Song:) mostly based around an E chord, 
The Esus4 in the verses could equally be an Asus2/E,
but it looks like a Esus4 live.

  E           Esus4     E   Esus4    E   Esus4 
I want you to love me 
              E                  Esus4  
That's all I  want from you
 E              Aadd9       G6 
I want you to  love me 
     E   Esus4   E   Esus4   E 
One  day 

E             Esus4
I know I'm a  peasant
E            Esus4
Dressed as a princess
    Aadd9
But that doesn't mean you have
                           E    Esus4 E
To take my clothes away


Badd11              Aadd9 G6
 If I could show you  
                Badd11
 Some happiness 
                          Aadd9   G6          Badd11
Then I would feel Like a  real     princess 
                      Aadd9  G6    E   Esus4 
That to me would be success  
    E     Esus4 
My baby

I seen you dancin' 
A natural  beauty  
You make this dive 
Seem sublime  
You really  get
To the heart of the music
You're  the poetry of time 

If there's a method 
To writing a song
How come I'm getting it wrong?
You write the beautiful songs


 G6                   Fmaj7 
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon  baby
 G6           Fmaj7 
Mm take my hand
       G6    Fmaj7 
Yeah! 
  G6                  Fmaj7     G6 
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon show me 
        Fmaj7           Aadd9  E 
To the love land to the love land

In this day and age?
Suddenly I just turn the page
