[Verse 1]
     Fmaj7             Am7
Never thought that I'd find
         Dbdim7
That the one in my
Dm7              Gm7
life would be so near
               C7(b9)
And now you're here
      Fmaj7        Am7
I got you, you got me
          Dbdim7
When it's us, babe,
    Dm7             Gm7
you make me feel complete
             C7(b9)
You're all I need

[Verse 2]
     Fmaj7           Am7
So I guess that it’s time
        Dbdim7    Dm7
I asked you to be mine
           Gm7
for all my days
              C7(b9)
I hope you'll stay
     Fmaj7          Am7
I'll admit that I'm scared
            Dbdim7
'Cause I've never really
Dm7              Gm7
cared as much as this
               C7(b9)
It’s worth the risk
