  How sweet it is to be loved by you
[Verse 1]
G                         Em
  I needed the shelter of someone's arms

D7          C#7  C7
  and there you were

G                          Em
  I needed someone to understand my ups and downs

D7          C#7  C7
  and there you were

G7                       C7
  With sweet love and devotion

Em                     C   C#dim7
   deeply touching my emotion

          G  C/G G            C
I want to stop and thank you baby

          G  N.C.            G F Em Dm
I want to stop and thank you baby, yes I do

[Verse 2]
G                     Em
  I close my eyes at night,

D7                             C#7  C7
wondering where would I be without you in my life

G                      Em
  Everything I did was just a bore,

D7                    C#7       C
everywhere I went it seems I'd been there before

    G7                         C7
But you brightened up for me all of my days

Em                         C        C#dim7
   With a love so sweet in so many ways

          G  C/G G            C
I want to stop and thank you baby

          G  N.C.            G F Em Dm
I want to stop and thank you baby
[Chorus]

[Instrumental] G Em D7 C#7 C7 G Em D7 C#7 C7 [2nd half of verse]
G7                             C7
 You were better to me than I was to myself

    Em                              C      C#dim7
For me, there's you and there ain't nobody else

          G  C/G G            C
I want to stop and thank you baby

          G  N.C.            G F Em Dm
I want to stop and thank you baby
