[G] [F]
[C] [G]
Oh, there's a light, [Am] [G]

Honey, but it never ever, [G] no it never shone [F] on me, no no
Oh baby, I want, [F#] I want [G] my whole life to [A] be, [F#] [D] live with you
That's what I want, [C] I want to be living loving [G] you
There's a way, [Am]
oh [C] every man the same
You can do anything, you can [G] do anything
And I think I can't [F#] yet
[F]
But what good, [G] what good, memory
[D] Cause I ain't gonna use, with my love

[F#] [F] But what [Dm] good, what good

[G] But you don't know, you don't know what it [D] is
No you don't, you never ever did
[C] You [Em] don't know, honey you don't know
What [G] it's like, [C] what a [D] love
Oh honey won't you [C] let me try and talk about holding you now
[Em] Now baby, [G] baby
But you don't know, you don't know what it [D] is
No you don't, you never ever did
[Am] I said I, [Em] tried to show you baby
I tried to help you [G] but you, no you never ever
No you never ever, no you [F] never
[Bm] [D] You know that don't you know you let me [C] die
[Am] Oh let me show my love
Show [G] my love, all around you
