       G#m A                             E
I love you, 'cause you tell me things I want to know.
And it's true that it really only goes to show,
  G#
That I know,
  C#m                   A                      F#m B7
That I, I, I, I should never, never, never be blue.

Now you're mine, my happiness still makes me cry.
And in time, you'll understand the reason why,
If I cry,
     C#m                                 A
It's not because I'm sad, but you're the only
                     E7
love that I've ever had.
           A   B7                 E E+
I can't believe it's happened to me
            A   B7          E
I can't conceive of any more misery.
       G#m              A
Ask me why, I'll say I love you,
       G#m                  A E
And I'm always thinking of you.

I love you, 'cause you tell me things I want to know.
And it's true that it really only goes to show,
That I know,
That I, I, I, I should never, never, never be blue.

Ask me why, I'll say I love you,
And I'm always thinking of you.

I can't believe it's happened to me.
I can't conceive of any more misery.

Ask me why, I'll say I love you,
And I'm always thinking of you.
