[Bridge] You [Dm7] give me just a taste of love... To [G7sus4] build my hopes u - [G7] pon, You [Dm7] know you got the power, girl, To [G7sus4] keep me holding [G7] on, So ... [C] now you've got the [Cmaj7] best of me, Come [Dm7] on, and take the [G7sus4] rest of me, Oh, baby!
[Theme] [C][Am7][Dm7][G7sus4][G7]
[Verse 3] Umm, [C] though you're close to me, we seem so far apart, [Am7] Maybe, given time, you'll have a change of heart, [Dm7] If it takes forever, girl, then [Am7] I'm prepared to wait, The [Dm7] day you give your love to me... Won't [G7sus4] be a day too [G7] late
[Chorus] Oh, [C] you to me are everything, The [Cmaj7] sweetest song that I could sing, Oh, [Dm7] baby, ...oh, [G7sus4] baby! [G7] To [C] you, I guess, I'm just a clown, Who [Cmaj7] picks you up each time you're down, Oh, [Dm7] baby, ...oh, [G7sus4] baby! [G7]
