[Intro]
G N.C. Am D G Gmaj7 G7
Lay it on me baby, Lay it on me 'til it gets right under my skin
C D C Bb G
And the merry mood I’m in makes way for lo--oo--ve
[Verse]
G B A/F# Cm
I'm walking these streets with a skip in my step, my hat’s on the side of my head
G Em D D6 D D6
All down to you, I’m acting this way
G B A/F# Cm
Just like a fish in a babbling brook, I'm nibbling at your hook
G Em D
Don't let me be the one that got away
[Bridge]
G Gaug C/G Cm
Cause you do something funda-mental to me, that I can almost taste
G Em D
And when I get weary, there's not a moment I wanna waste
[Chorus]
Am D G Gmaj7 G7
Lay it on me baby, Lay it on me 'til the room be-gins to spin
C D C Bb G
And the merry mood I’m in makes way for lo--oo--ve
[Break]
G Em A Cm G Em F D
(with scat vocals)
[Verse]
G B A/F# Cm
You can’t buy a day this sunny, not for a tower of folding money
G Em D
I’d dare a cloud to rain on this parade
[Bridge]
G Gaug C/G Cm
Because bells start ringing and a bluebird’s singing, I stride the milky way
G Em D
Every time you give me the sign, and the look that way
[Chorus]
Am D G Gmaj7 G7
Lay it on me baby, Lay it on me 'til it gets right under my skin
C D C Bb G
And the merry mood I’m in makes way for lo--oo--ve
Am D G Gmaj7 G7
Lay it on me baby, Lay it on me 'til it room be-gins to spin
C D C Bb G
And the merry mood I’m in makes way for lo--oo--ve
