[Verse 1]
G                        Em
 I needed the shelter of someone's arms
D7         C#7
  There you   were
C7
G                         Em
 I needed someone to understand my ups and downs
D7         C#7    C7
  There you   were
G7                      C7
  With sweet love and devotion
Em                      C7  C#dim7
  Deeply touching my emotion
          G                  C
I want to stop and thank you baby
          G
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          C7
Everywhere I went it seems I'd been there before
G7                            C7
But you brighten up for me all  of my days
Em                        C7          C#dim7
  With a love so sweet in so many ways
          G                  C
I want to stop and thank you baby
               G
I just want to stop and thank you baby,
     Cmaj7         Gadd9/B
