G   D7/9  G      G/F#  Em7 Am7 Em7   C    C/B   Am7
Why this feeling?          Why this glow?

Em7 Cdim   G5    G/B     Edim Am  Am7   D9  Am7   D7
Why the   thrill     when you say Hel - lo?

Edim     C          C/B   Edim  D7/9    C      C/B  E
It's a strange and tender magic     you do --

Edim   C      C/B  Am7  Bm7-5  D9  Am7   D7
Mister Wonderful,       that's you.


G   D7/9  G       G/F#  Em7 Am7 Em7   C    C/B   Am7
Why this trembling          when you speak?

Em7 Cdim  G5 G/B       Edim Am  Am7   D9  Am7   D7
Why this joy      when you touch my cheek?

Edim     C      C/B    Edim   D7/9      C    C/B  E
I must tell you what my heart knows is true, 

Edim   C      C/B  Am7  D9     G   Am7  G
Mister Wonderful,      that's you.


Bridge:

G   Am7 Em   G7      F   C    G7    C
And why this longing to know your charms,

    C/B     A7   Em7  A7 Edim  D7
To spend forever here in your arms?


G   D7/9    G       G/F  Em7 Am7  Em7   C    C/B   Am7
Oh there's much more          I  could say,

Em7 Cdim  G5  G/B       Edim    Am  Am7 D9  Am7   D7
But  the words     keep slip - ping a - way

Edim     C        C/B Edim  D7/9     C    C/B  E
And I'm left with only one point of view --

Edim   C      C/B  Am7 D9     G   Am7  G
Mister Wonderful,     that's you


G          G/F# Em7 D7/9 Cdim  E7
One more thing,     then I'm through --

Cdim    C    C/B  Am7  Edim    G    G/F#  E7/9
Mister Wonderful,      Mister Wonderful, 

Edim   A9  A7/9  Am7 Cdim C  C/B Cm7 Am7  G
Mister Wonderful, I love you!
