I needed someone to understand my up's and downs; and there you were.
Bridge 1:
C                      F7
 With sweet love and devotion,
C                    F7
 Deeply touching my emotion.
  C                            F7
I want to stop, and thank you, baby,

I want to stop, and thank you, baby.

Verse 2:
  C                Am
I close my eyes at night;
G7                                   F7
 And wonder what would I be, without you in my life?
  C                Am
Everything was just a bore
G7                                     F7
All the things I did since, I've done 'em before
Bridge 2:
C                       F7
 But you brightened up, all my days,
C               F7
 With a love so sweet, in so many ways.
  C                            F7
I want to stop, and thank you, baby,
  C                            F7
I want to stop, and thank you, baby.

 For me, there's you, and nobody else.
  C                            F7
I want to stop, and thank you, baby,

I want to stop, and thank you, baby.
