Verse:
 E  F#m  G#m  F#m                              E
I love you 'cos you tell me things I want to know
  E  F#m  G#m  F#m                       E           G#7
And it's true that it really only goes to show that I know
      C#m              A                F#m  B7
That I I I I would never ever ever be blue
  E  F#m    G#m  F#m                      E
Now you're mine my happiness near makes me cry
  E  F#m G#m  F#m                            E        G#7
And in time you'll understand the reason why that I cry
      C#m
It's not because I'm sad
A E E+ (e.g., 076550)
But you're the only love that I've ever had

I can't conceive of any more misery

And I'm always thinking of you
[now repeat from the middle]
