[Am]
[Gm] [G] Let's see.
[C] Would
[Gm] [F]
[D] you mind if I [Gm] approach you?
[B] [Am] With [Gb] this song may I tell you that [F] I've watched you
[Gm]
How [Am] very [G] long [Abm] that I've watched you [Gm] from afar
And now [Gb] right here you are so [F] close to me
[Am] Now [D] I know [Gm] it isn't proper
[Abm] To [C] [Bbm] insist but [Gb] my heart [F] would not allow [Gm] me To [Am] resist
[Gm] [Abm] So forgive me [Gm] if I'm bold
But my story [Gb] must be told [F] close to you
[E] I'm [Cm] not pretending [A] [Eb] that I'm perfect
[F] [Bb] I am [Cm] nothing with no [Bb] vanity
[Dm]
But I want [G] you and I need you
[Gm] Can't you see you're just a [Db] part of me
[C] So [Am] just sit there for [Gm] a moment
[Abm]
[Bbm] While I sing [Gb] and remember with [F] each note
[Gm] This love that [A] I bring
And [Abm] if you [Gm] enjoy the song
Then it's true that you [Gb] belong [F] close to me
[G] I've [F]
[Bb]
[Ebm]
[C] [Bb]
[Gm] got a bunch of other songs that other people could sing
That I don't agree with
I wrote them
I've got some songs that other people could sing very well
You do whatever you feel, man
Yeah, well, I won't do it
Whatever comes in your mind Yeah, alright
Why don't you do some of the songs that you wrote in person?
[Bb] Yeah, just the ones that are sad
Groovy, let's get to some sad songs, man
Let's do it
Let's roost to some [Eb] sad things I'm down
Alright
[Bb] [G] I'm down and you're up [D] Yes Uh-huh
[N]
