[Verse 1]
Eb Cm Fm Bb
I dreamed I woke up and you were gone
Fm Bb Ab Eb
I reached out, but no one was there
Eb/G C Fm Bb
I called your name and nobody answered
G C Fm Bb
And I wondered : "if I cry, would you care ?"
[Verse 2]
Eb Cm Fm7 Bb
I had said I love you so many times
Fm Bb Ab Eb
But they're just words that you hear people say
Eb/G C Fm Bb
And I never knew just how much I loved you
G C Fm Bb
Until suddenly, you'd gone away
[Verse 3]
Eb Cm Fm Bb
Now who'd stand by me the way you did
Fm Bb Ab Eb
When I was weak it was you that made me strong
Eb/G C Fm Bb
And you had a way of touching my heart
G C Fm Bb
Like the words in a beautiful song
[Verse 4]
Eb Cm Fm7 Bb
Oh we had good times and we shared the bad
Fm Bb Ab Eb
So I'll take whatever comes
Eb/G C7 Fm Bb
Cause you were the best years of my life
G C7 Fm Bb
And we shared the cake and we shared the crumbs
[Verse 5]
Eb Cm Fm Bb
Then just before the hurt had built up in my heart
Fm Bb Ab Eb
To a mountain that I knew I could never climb
Eb/G C7 Fm Bb
I woke up, I woke up to a beautiful world, and you were there
G C Fm Bb
You were there all the time
[Chorus]
Eb Cm Fm7 Bb Fm Bb Ab Eb
I love you America, I love you America
Eb/G C7 Fm Bb
And if I sail a stormy sea
G C Fm Bb
Please be there to shelter me
Eb Cm Fm7 Bb Fm Bb Ab Eb
I love you America, I love you America
Eb/G C Fm Bb
So just keep holdin' me close and I will care
G C Fm Bb
And we'll show the world that what we share
Eb C7 Fm7 Bb
Is still the greatest love affair
Eb Cm Fm7 Bb7
And I love you America
Fm Bb Eb
I love you
