D#maj7       Fm7            Gm7      Fm7
Some people think that the physical things
  D#maj7 Fm7     Gm7
Define what's within
D#maj7            Fm7
I've been there before
     Gm7           Fm7
But that life's a bore
   D#maj7       Fm7    Gm7
So full of the superficial

Chorus:
            G#maj7
Some people want it all
                 Gm7
But I don't want nothing at all
            Fm7
If it ain't you baby
              D#maj7
If I ain't got you baby
                 G#maj7
Some people want diamond rings
               Gm7
Some just want everything
                     Fm7
But everything means nothing
               D#maj7
If I ain't got you

Some people search for a fountain
Promises forever young
Some people need three dozen roses
And that's the only way to prove you love them

Hand me the world on a silver platter
And what good would it be
No one to share
No one who truly cares for me

Chorus
