[D] Baby, since I've met you.
[G]
[Eb] All the places that I've been [Em] around, [Eb] and all the good-looking girls I've [G] met,
[Eb] they just don't seem to [Em] fit in.

[Bm] But it seemed so natural, [Am] darling, [G] that you went out, [Bm] yeah.
[A]
[D] Just talking over cigarettes [G] and drinking coffee.

And honey, [E] won't you let [G] me just build my whole life around.
[B] [C]
[A] [Dbm] And, well, [Db] I could [G]

If you would take things under [Am]
consideration and walk down [D] this aisle with me, I would love [G] it, yeah.

[Eb] Ooh, it's a quarter to three.

We are sitting here [Em] talking over [G] cigarettes and drinking coffee.
[C] Now, Lord, [Bm]
I'd like to show you where [Am]
I've [G] known nothing but good old joy [A]
since I met you, [Am]
darling.
Honey, since [D] I've met you, baby, [G]
yeah, [Eb]
I would [Em] love to have another drink of coffee [Eb] now.
[G]
And please, [Eb]
darling, help me [Em] smoke just one more cigarette [Eb] now.
[G]
I don't want no treatment [Eb] sugar, cause I got you now, [Em] darling.
But [Eb]
just let me enjoy, [G] help me to enjoy this good time [Eb] that we'll have, baby.
[Em]
It's so early, so [B] early in the morning, so early, [G]
so early in the morning.
And [Eb] I got you, and you [Em] got me, and we have each [Eb] other, and we don't, and we don't hold [G] up for a day.
