Intro Verse:
[D] [A7] [G] [A7] [A7]/9 [D6] [Cdim]
I used to have a per - fect sweet - heart --
[Em7] [A7] [A7+5] [D] Cim
Not a real one, just a dream;
[Em7] [Gdim] [Em7] [G/B] [A7]
A won - der - ful vis - ion of us as a team.
[D] [A7] [G] [A7] [A7]/9 [D6] [Cdim]
Can you im - ag - ine how I feel now?
[Em7] [A7] [A7+5] [B7]
Love is real now, it's i - deal;
[Em7] [A7] [D] [B7]
You're just what I wan - ted,
[Em7] [A7] [Cdim] [A7] [A7]+5
And now it's nice to live, par - a - dise to live.
Melody:
[D] [G] [Em7] [D] [E7] [D9] [A7] [E7]
I know why I've waited, know why I've been blue;
[A7] [G] [A] [Em7] [A7] [D] [Em7] [Fdim] [D] [A7sus4]
Prayed each night for some - one ex - act - ly like you.
[D] [G] [Em7] [D] [E7] [D9] [A7] [E7]
Why should we spend mon - ey on a show or two?
[A7] [G] [Fdim] [A7] [Em7] [D] [G] [Fdim] [D]
No one does those love scenes ex - act - ly like you.
Bridge:
[D9] [Am7] [D7] [G6] [Edim]
You make me feel so grand,
[A7] [Em7] [D] [G] [D]
I want to hand the world to you;
[F#7] [Bm7] [G] [Gdim]
You seem to understand
[A7] [DM7] [D6]
Each foolish little scheme I'm schem - ing,
[Em7] [A7] [A7+5]
Dream I'm dream - ing.
[D] [G] [Em7] [D] [E7] [D9] [A7] [E7]
Now I know why moth - er taught me to be true --
[A7] [G] [Fdim] [A7] [Em7] [D] [G] [Fdim] [D]
She meant me for someone ex -act - ly like you.
