And I love you so, 

    A7    A   A9  A  D   F#m  Bm
The peo - ple ask me how,

Bm7/E    Cdim        G    G/F#  Em7 
How I've lived 'till now,

   Em6      A        D    Cdim   A
I tell them I don't know!

   A    A9   A   Asus4    G   G/F#  Em7 
I guess they un - der - stand,

     A7    A   A9  A    D   F#m  Bm
How lone - ly life has been,

    Bm7/E    Cdim       G    G/F#  Em7 
But life be - gan a - gain,

    Em6      A       D    G    D  A7
The day you took my hand!


    D9     Dsus4    Em7/9  Em7     G/B A7  Em7   A7
And yes, I know how lone - ly life can be,

    Em7/9  Em7       G/B A7  Em7   A7
The sha - dows fol - low me,

         D9         G/B     D     A7
And the night won't set me free. 

    D9     Dsus4    Em7/9  Em7     G/B A7  Em7   A7
But I don't let the eve - ning get me down,

Em7/9 Em7       G/B   A7   D
 Now that you're a - round me.
 

D    D6 DM7  D   G  G/F#  Em7
And you love me too,

      A7       A   A9  A    D   F#m  Bm
Your thoughts are just for me,

  Bm7/E    Cdim        G    G/F#  Em7 
You set my spir - it free,

    Em6       A       D    Cdim   A
I'm hap - py that you do!

    A    A9   A  Asus4   G   G/F#  Em7 
The book of life  is   brief,

    A7   A  A9  A    D   F#m  Bm
And once a page is read,

Bm7/E   Cdim     G    G/F#  Em7 
All but love is dead, --

Em6      A       D    G    D  A7
That is my be - lief.
 

    D9     Dsus4    Em7/9  Em7     G/B A7  Em7   A7
And yes, I know how lone - ly life can be,

    Em7/9  Em7       G/B A7  Em7   A7
The sha - dows fol - low me,

         D9         G/B     D     A7
And the night won't set me free. 

    D9     Dsus4    Em7/9  Em7     G/B A7  Em7   A7
But I don't let the eve - ning get me down,

Em7/9 Em7       G/B   A7   D
 Now that you're a - round me.
