[F#] [C]
[C#] Well back in the [B] past when I was treated [F#] so [C#] poorly, my love life was a time disgrace.
Needed someone to love and hold me, that's one of the reasons that I was out.
So, this [E] love, I [F#] should finally give [C#] it.
Had me [B] all whipped up [C#] inside.
I was in [F#] love, but she missed [C#] me.
She up and [B] left and I almost [G#] died.
But I was young and [C#] I was far from [G#] lonely.
I'm not where it's all, I love you.
Need a girl to [F#] call my own, but it [G#] only [F#] is that [C#m] you.
[D#m] [G#] [F#] You [C#] think you got [E] the [F#] interest, [C#] come on take [E] the [F#] [G#] time.
[F#] [C#] Cause you know, [F#] I [G#] wanna [F#] be [D#] yours in a simple way.
[C#] [F#]
[C#] [C#m]
[C#] Well, ain't life [F#] grand when you [E] finally get [C#] it?
I'm [G#] always a sucker [B] for a real good [C#] time.
Well, good be [F#] life, you find I [E] almost missed [C#] it.
Ain't I [B] glad that love is [G#] blind.
But I was young [F#] and I was [G#] far too crazy.
Been that way for a so long time.
Needed a girl but I was just too lazy.
Now that I found you.

[G#] [F#] [C#] You think you got [E] the [G#] [F#] interest, [C#] come on take [E] the [F#] time.
[G#] [F#] I'm [C#] gonna [E] be [G#] yours in a [F#] simple [C#] way.
[B] [C#]
[D#m] [C#]
She made [B] the mountains [C#] sing, [F#] words against an icy sky.
[C#] And I [B] heard bells [C#] ringing, I think I [F#] heard an angel sigh.
And she said, there'll be times, [F#] there will be
[D#m] [C#] times.
You're gonna hear [B] the angels singing, [C#] angels
[F#] [B] sing, [C#m] they'll say.
