Verse 1:
Gm7 [verse 1: hold 2 extra beats]
I didn't know you were the one for me, I couldn't see
But Fm7you were waiting for
Gm7Someone to come along and help you out to sing your song
AndFm7 I was changing
Chorus:
Ebm7All I Fm7see is you
Ebm7 Fm7 Gm7 [1: Dm7, to post-chorus; 2: D, to bridge]
All I feel is you for me
Post-chorus:
And I would rCm7eally like to watch you Dm7ride
And aCm7lways feel youDm7 by my side
I would Cm7really like to watch you Dm7ride
All onEbm7 me
Verse 2:
Now I go stumblin' to the sky and I seem to fly so high
I see you, I feel you
You have a way of walkin' 'round, your feet they never touch the ground
And you are shining
[repeat chorus; to bridge]
Bridge:
[8-bar bass solo over D]
DTimes don't change
Times don't ever change for me and I know
That you could be
The only thing in my world
The only thing that my mind could find for love
Love and peace of mind for me
For me...
Gm7Oh, oh, Fm7oh...
Verse 3:
Your shadow in the morning sun becomes my fun and we can say
I love you, I love you
Now morning shines on silver beaches, your life flashes through the
reaches
Of my mind, of my mind
Coda:
Of Gm7my mind
And my Cm7mind becomes alive with Dm7you
It's Cm7all that I can Dm7do
To sit Cm7here and let you blow my Dm7mind
Blow my Cm7mind, you're so fDm7ine
In my Cm7mind, you're so Dm7fine
[Paul:] In my Cm7mind, you're so Dm7fine
[Grace:] (...fine) In my mind, you're so fine
[Paul:] In my Cm7mind, in my Dm7mind
[Grace:] In my mind, you're so fine
[Paul:] You're so fCm7ine Dm7
[Grace:] In my mind

Notes:
The chords may sound like 7#9s, but there's definitely no major
third in them. They're actually minor 7ths voiced with the 7th
and 3rd on top, with the low E tuned down to D to allow the root
to be played on the lowest string without an otherwise-impossible
finger reach:
Gm7 555766 Fm7 333544 Ebm7 111322
Cm7 111111 Dm7 111111
