Are you thinking that I wasn't meant for you 
         G         C           D          G 
Could it be you believe that I've been untrue 
  G                       D         C 
Listen sweetheart, this just cannot be 
    C               G                 D7          G 
For you're the only good thing that's happened to me 
 
 
   G                           C          G 
We have our ups and downs like all lovers do 
        G            C          D         G 
But you know in your heart that I worship you 
   G                    D          C 
So don't ever think of setting me free 
    C               G                 D7          G 
For you're the only good thing that's happened to me
