Lyle Lovett:  Here I Am chords
Start Jamming...
[N] Hello, I'm the guy who sits next to you and reads the [Ab] newspaper over your shoulder.
[N]
Wait, [Ab] don't turn the [N] page.
[B]
I'm not finished.
[N] [A] Life is so [Gb] uncertain.
[G] Here I am, [C] yes it's me.
Take [G] my hand and [C] you'll see.
Here [Gm] I am, yes [C] it's you.
All [Gm] I want, [C] girl, is you.
Given [B] that true intellectual and emotional [Ab] compatibility are at the very least difficult, if not impossible to [N] come by,
[Ab] we could always opt for the more temporal [G] gratification of sheer [F] physical [N] attraction.
That wouldn't make [B] you a shallow person, [Db] would it?
[Gb] [Gm] Here I am, [C] yes it's me.
Take [G] my hand and [C] you'll see.
Here [Gm] I am, yes [C] it's you.
[G] All I want, [C] girl, is you.
What Ford is to [B] Chevrolet, what [A] Dodge is to Chrysler, what Corn Flakes are to Post Toasties,
what the [Ab] clear blue sky is to [A] the deep [Ab] blue sea,
what [G] Hank Williams is to Neil Armstrong.
[N]
[A] Can you [Gm] doubt we [B] were made for each other?
[Gm]
[Bbm] [G] Here I am, [C] yes it's me.
Take [G] my hand [Gm] and [C] you'll see.
[G] Here I am, yes [C] it's you.
[Gm] All I want, girl, [C] is you.
Look, I understand too little too late.
[Ab] I realize there are things you say [Bb] and do you can never take [N] back.
[Bb] But what would you be if you didn't even try?
[N] You have to try.
[C] So after a [N] lot of thought, [B] [A] I'd like to reconsider.
[N]
[Db] Please, [C] if it's not [Ab] too late, [N] [Bb] make it a [Gb] cheeseburger.
Here [G] I am, [C] yes it's me.
Take [G] my hand and [C] you'll see.
Here I [G] am, [C] yes it's you.
All [G] I want, [C] girl, is you.
Here [Gm] I am, [F] yes [C] it's me.
Take [G] my hand, [C]
[Gm] here I am.
[C] Here I am, yes it's you.
All [G] I want, [F] [C]
girl, is you.
[Gm] [Gb]
