[Intro] Eb Eb Eb Eb [Verse 1]
Eb                Cm Fm              Bb
 I dreamed I woke up and you were gone

Fm          Bb  Ab              Eb
 I reached out,  but no one was there

Eb/G C                Fm          Bb
   I called your name  and nobody answered

G             C           Fm Bb
 And I wondered : "if I cry,  would you care ?"
[Verse 2]
Eb  Cm  Fm7                   Bb
        I had said I love you so many times

Fm                Bb                       Ab   Eb
 But they're just words that you hear people say

Eb/G         C            Fm              Bb
 And I never knew just how much I loved you

      G       C  Fm              Bb
Until suddenly,   you'd gone away
[Verse 3]
Eb   Cm                    Fm          Bb
 Now who'd stand by me the way you did

Fm              Bb          Ab                 Eb
When I was weak  it was you  that made me strong

Eb/G           C                  Fm    Bb
 And you had a way of touching my heart

         G     C               Fm   Bb
Like the words  in a beautiful song
[Verse 4]
Eb         Cm             Fm7                Bb
 Oh we had good times and   we shared the bad

Fm      Bb                 Ab  Eb
 So I'll take whatever comes

Eb/G               C7                   Fm  Bb
Cause you were the best years of my life

G                    C7 Fm                 Bb
And we shared the cake   and we shared the crumbs
[Verse 5]
Eb  Cm                     Fm                      Bb
      Then just before the hurt had built up in my heart

     Fm        Bb                            Ab  Eb
To a mountain  that I knew I could never climb

     Eb/G   C7                      Fm      Bb
I woke up, I woke up to a beautiful world,  and you were there

G         C     Fm          Bb
 You were there all the time
[Chorus]
Eb     Cm   Fm7 Bb  Fm     Bb   Ab  Eb
I love you America, I love you America

Eb/G      C7   Fm        Bb
 And if I sail  a stormy sea

G          C        Fm      Bb
 Please be there to shelter me

Eb     Cm   Fm7 Bb  Fm     Bb   Ab  Eb
I love you America, I love you America

Eb/G          C                Fm              Bb
 So just keep holdin' me close  and I will care

    G                    C             Fm    Bb
And we'll show the world  that what we share

   Eb                C7      Fm7   Bb
Is still the greatest  love affair

Eb  Cm           Fm7     Bb7
   And I love you   America

Fm Bb   Eb
 I love you
