 Baby hair  with a woman's eyes
Bbmaj7             G               A
 I can feel you're watching in the night
Dm7                C6                         Bbmaj7  G  A
 All alone with me and we're waiting for the sunlight

 When I feel cold, you warm me
           Bb              C                Eb7  Dm7*
And when I feel I can't go on, you come and hold me

 If you feel like leaving  you know you can go
Bbmaj7                          G   A
 But why don't you stay until tomorrow?
Dm7                    C6         Bbmaj7                G   A
 If you want to be free, you know, all you got to do is say so

And when you feel cold, I'll warm you

It's you... And me forever

That C#dim in the Chorus is actually a C#add9 (x-4-6-4-4-x). Sounds weird, I know, but listen to the record. The guitar and keyboard play it at the same time. Good breakdown of that here: minute 11. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8PfzyVXbRA
