Capo 1st Fret (to match recording)

Intro: (C) (C) (C) (C)

(C) I been lookin' for you all night long, darlin'
(F) You've got to talk to (C) me
I wanna tell you how wrong I've been
And I won't do it a(F)gain
You know that woman didn't mean a thing to (C) me
I hope I don't embarrass you too much
Here in front of all your (F) friends
I'm gonna get down on my knees
(C) Please let me (F) make it
(C) Please I can't (F) give you up
'Cause (C) you've made (F) love
So (G7) good for me so (C) long

  Don't take it a(F)way
  'Cause love don't come (C) easy
  Darlin', I'm (G7) sorry
  I stepped over the (C) line
  Don't take it a(F)way
  Don't make me go cr(C)azy
  'Cause (F) I would (Am) follow (G7) you
  To the ends of my (C) mind

From now on, I'm gonna be the kind of man
That you can lean on
And when the waters of life
Get a little too rough or a little too deep
I'm gonna be your stepping stone
And, oh, I remember all those nights
That you used to take right a hold of me
And you'd hold on
Please let me make it
Please I can't give you up
'Cause you've made love
So good for me so long

(REPEAT CHORUS)
