And there are fancy cars and diamond rings
         F                    G
But you know that they don't mean a thing 
     Am             G             F
They all add up to nothin compared to you
        Dm                      F
Well, remember me in ribbons and curls
        Dm                                 F
I still love you more than anything in the world
