Verse 1:

C       Dm
I love myself
Bb      C
I want you to love me
C       Dm
When I'm feelin' down
Bb      C
I want you above me
C       Dm
I search myself
Bb      C
I want you to find me
C       Dm
I forget myself
Bb      C
I want you to remind me

Chorus:
Bb      C       F
I don't want anybody else

You're the one who makes me come honey
F
You're the sun who makes me shine
C
When you're around I'm always laughing
Bb
I want to make you mine

Verse 2:

C       Dm
I close my eyes
Bb      C
And see you before me
C       Dm
Think I would die
Bb      C
If you were to ignore me
C       Dm

Just how much I adore you

I get down on my knees
Bb      C
I'd do anything for you
