Start Jamming...
[F] You know baby I used to get awful mad every time I saw somebody look at you.
I really did.
[C] [Em] But I've been loving you so long now that I really can [F] kind of understand.
And so when I see him digging you,
[C] [D] you know I just [Em] smile and say,
[C]
[Am] I know why [F] birds [Bm] suddenly appear [E] every [Em] time [C] you come near.
[A] Just like me, [Dm] they [A] long to [C] be close to you.
[Em] [A] Why [F] do stars [C] fall down [E] from the sky every [Em] time?
[C]
Just [Dm] like me, [Am] they long to [Em] be close to you.
[C] [Dm] On the day that you were born, [C] [D] things got together.
[Em] They decided to make a dream come [A] true.
So [F] they sprinkled [Am] that good [F]-hearted

Singing from my soul, [Am]
just [G] like [Am] me, they long to [G] [Am] be [C] close to you.
[Em] Sleep like I want to moan one time, say,
[F]
[Dm] You, [Am] [Gm] you, [C] you, close [Em] to me.
[C] [Em] [F] You, [Dm] [Am] you, [Dm] you, [Em] close to me.
