  She said, "I've got to be honest,
                    F                             C 
You're wasting your time if you're fishin' around here."

   (C)                      Am
And I said, "You must be mistaken,
        F                        C 
I'm not foolin', this feelin' is real."

C                          Am
She said, "You've gotta be crazy!
            F                          C 
What do you take me for? Some kinda of easy mark?"

C                              Am
  "You've got wits, you've got looks, you've got passion,
      F                            C
But I swear that you've got me all wrong."

But you've got me...

  This is easy as lovers go.

So don't complicate it by hesi  - tating.

C       N.C.
I said, "I've got to be honest, I've been waiting for you all of my life."
C                              Am
  For so long I thought I was asylum bound,
         F                         C 
But just seeing you makes me think twice.
   (C)                           Am
And being with you here makes me sane.
               F                     C 
I fear I'll go crazy if you leave my side.
C                             Am 
  You've got wits, you've got looks, you've got passion,
            F                               C
But are you brave enough to leave with me tonight?


  Fmaj7      Am
To-night, to-night
       D7          
You've got me
