"You Are The Best Thing"

Chords that have a little more "color" than the other postings

INTRO - A#   D7/F# Gm  D# x2
        A#   D7    Gm
        A#/D D#    F7  A#

A# F Gm                 D#
Baby,   its been a long day, baby.
A# F Gm              D#
        Things aint going my way
            A#    F     Gm
you know I need you here
               D# -----
here to clear my mind
        F7 -----
all of the time


A# F Gm                  D#
And baby, the way you move me its crazy.
A# F Gm                   D#
       its like you see right through me, you make it
A#         F F#m       Gm                  D#     F -----
 easier,        to please me, you don’t even have to try.


oh because,
A#    D7     Gm         D#
you are the best thing
A#    D7     Gm         D#
you are the best thing
A#    D7     Gm        F
you are the best thing
D#          F        A#
   ever happened to me

Repeat that pattern (half the length of the first verse)

Baby, Weve come a long way, baby.
you know, I hope and I pray that you believe me
When I say this love will never fade away


oh because
you are the best thing
you are the best thing
you are the best thing
ever happened to me

(The bridge below has two hits on the NOTES E and F before the F#M)

Gm                            Dm
    Now both of us have known love before,
Gm                            Dm
    To come on up promising, like the spring,
                   D#
just walk on out the door
                                A#
Our hearts are strong and our hearts are kind
D#                          D#/F
well, let me tell you exactly what is on my mind.
