    C                      F

        If you were falling

       I'll find a match

                F   G                 C                              Am

    ‘Cause I    love the way you say good morning

             F    G# (hold)             C (2)

    and you take me the way I am

     

    C                     F

       If you are chilly

    Am                         G

        here, take my sweater

    C                          F

       your head is aching

    Am                 G

         I'll make it better

               F     G              C                   Am

    ‘Cause I    love the way you call me baby

    C                         F

       I'd buy you Rogaine

    Am                       G

        when you start losing all your hair

    C               F

        Sew on patches

    Am               G

        to all you tear

               F     G                          C                    Am

    ‘Cause I    love you more than I could ever promise

             F    G#                         Am      G

    and you take me the way I        am

    F    G#                         Am   D7sus2/F#
