(walk down chord intro)

G, G, D/F#, Em, Em/D, C, Em7, Am7, D

       G              G7
When I see you in the morning
         C                   Cm
that old sleep still in your eyes
    G    D/F#      Em      Em/D     A7
I remember all the laughter and the tears
               D
we shared last night
      G                  G7
as we lie here, just two shadows
       C                Cm
in the light before the dawn
             G               D               C   Em7 Am7 G
the sweetest thing I've ever known is loving you


(Chorus:)

           C                    G
And I have never been afraid of losing out
    G D/F# Em           A7           C    D
and I have never wanted love to be a chain
       G                  G7
I only know that when I'm with you
         C                   Cm
you're my sunshine, you're my rain
             G               D               C   Em7 Am7 G
the sweetest thing I've ever known is loving you


G, D/F#, Em, Em/D, C, Em7, Am7, D


            G           G7
Now you and I, were not children
        C                 Cm
we have both been loved before
        G    D/F#         Em    Em/D
we have given and we have taken
     A7                D
many rides on troubled shores
            G                  G7
but all the heartaches and temptations
     C                Cm
only made me love you more
             G               D               C   Em7 Am7 G
the sweetest thing I've ever known is loving you


(Chorus:)

           C                    G
And I have never been afraid of losing out
    G D/F# Em           A7           C   D
and I have never wanted love to be a chain
       G                  G7
I only know that when I'm with you
         C                   Cm
you're my sunshine, you're my rain
             G               D               C   C B Bb A7
the sweetest thing I've ever known is loving you
             G               D               C    Em7 Am7 G
the sweetest thing I've ever known is loving you
