Remember to fingerpick all chords to get that "J.T." sound. Also remember all chords are relative to the capo. [Verse 1]
C C/B Am G Whenever I see your smiling
F F/E Dm7 G face, I have to smile myself, because I
C Am F G love you.
C C/B Am And when you give me that pretty
G F F/E Dm7 little pout it turns me inside out.
G C Am There's somethin' about ya baby,
F G I don't know. [Chorus]

G G#dim Am can feel this way
G F C Oh, tell me how much longer. I
