[Verse 1]
           G
Fallin' asleep,
              D
holdin' your puppy
                      Am
In your Persian blue sheets,
              C
never felt luckier
       G
Than I do right now,
           D
 tell me you love me,
          Am       C
let me have it

[Verse 2]
                G
Blood on your fleece,
               D
grippin' the cup and gettin'
              Am
Sick in the streets,
              C
never felt luckier
       G
Than I do right now,
        D
 under the stars you
          Am       C
 trust in me

[Pre-Chorus]
      G
Blue jewels 'round your
  D       Am           C
neck can cool my distress
       G               D
Loose cherries, hard breath,
           Am     C
 I'm overwhelmed

[Chorus]
G                   D
I span 'round and screamed,
"I feel elated when
      Am         C
 you hold me"
     G              D
And you got shy and beamed,
"I think it's special
            Am         C
 that you told me"
I think you're special
             G       D
 'cause you told me
I think you're special
            Am        C
 'cause you told me
I think you're special
             G       D Am C
 'cause you told me

[Verse 3]
            G              D
Got the red eye just to be near
                        Am
'Cause my head eats me alive,
                C
 you're makin' sure I'm eatin'
  G               D
I call my mother just to
                   Am
 tell her that I'm happy

[Verse 4]
                   G
I'll tell you the truth,
              D
being with someone
                    Am
Always made me feel used,
                C
 bet it would make me angry
       G
'Cause I need love like a
  D
 body needs sugar
   Am          C
 I need love

[Pre-Chorus]
      G
Blue jewels 'round your
  D       Am           C
 neck can cool my distress
       G               D
Loose cherries, hard breath,
           Am     C
 I'm overwhelmed

that you told me"
I think you're special

'cause you told me
I think you're special
            Am        C
