[Verse 1]
                    A
        There's a light
        Bm
        A certain kind of light
        D                   A
        That never shone on me
        G                 A
        I want my life to be
                      E
        To live with you
                      D7
        To live with you
 
                    A
        There's a way
        Bm
        Everybody says
        D                   A
        To do each and every little thing
        G                 A
        But what does it bring
                      E
        If I ain't got you
                      D7
        Ain't got... baby
 
[Chorus]
         A                        E
        You don't know what it's like
               D                        A   N.C.
        Baby, you don't know what it's like
                     E
        To love somebody
                     D
        To love somebody
                   A
        The way I love you

        I live and I breathe for you
       G                 A
        But what good does it do
                       E
        If I ain't got you
               D
        Ain't got... baby
