INTRO: C G Em F (x2) 

verse 1 
       C                      G 
At the end of the day with my senses away 
         Am                  G 
When I'm managing no sign of life 
      F                       C 
And I can't even show you how good it feels 
   G 
To be with you tonight 
         F          Em 
Well I'm sorry if I stumble 
  G 
I wish I could open my heart 


           C                     G 
It's not a heart of stone that I may have shown 
      C                  G 
But a tragic lack of the lover's tact 
F                  C                G 
You don't know how good it feels to be with you 
            C                    G 
You got the lover's dream of positivity 
        C             G 
Women's magazine sensitivity 
    F                  C                G 
Oh, you don't know how good it feels to be with you, oh 

INTRO: C G Em F 

verse 2 
C                        G 
Give me a chance in this modern romance 
        Am                  G 
Give me some explanation or clue 
   F                       C 
To help me to show you how good it feels 
G 
Being here with you 
          F                 Em 
But don't expect to be serenaded 
           G 
'Cause you know that that just ain't my style 


            C                    G 
It's like a dream machine with a tragic scene 
       C                      G 
Like a life of fame with anonymity 
    F                  C                G 
Oh, you don't know how good it feels to be with you 
          C                    G 
With your lover's dream of positivity 
        C             G 
Women's magazine sensitivity 
    F                  C                G 
Oh, you don't know how good it feels to be with you, ooh

verse 3 
      C                 G 
Don't ask me now if I'm inside or out 
       Am                    G 
If I'm over the moon, starry-eyed 
           F               C 
You should know by now how good it feels 
G 
Being here tonight 
          F             Em 
I find it so hard to be romantic 
     G 
It's so hard for me to explain 


          C               G 
With your understated simplicity 
     C                        G 
Your collector's piece of antiquity 
    F                  C                G 
Oh, you don't know how good it feels to be with you 
          C                    G

Oh, you don't know how good it feels to be with you 
    F                  C                G 
Oh, you don't know how good it feels to be with you 
    F                  C                G 
Oh, you don't know how good it feels to be with you
