INTRO: A  A7  D  E   (x2)


VERSE 1:

A
I remember yet before we met
    A7
When every night and day
          D                  E
I had to live the life of a lonely one
A
And I remember meeting you
A
Discovering love could be so true
     D                    E
When shared by two, not an only one


PRE-CHORUS:

D                   A        D                 A
When you said you loved me (when you said you loved me)
D                   A        D               A
And we could not be parted (we could not be parted)
  D                  A          D               A
So I built my world around you (built my world around you)
       D              A
And I'm truly glad I found you, because


CHORUS:

A               A7                       D
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever
E
I never felt so good before
A               A7                       D
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever
E
Yes it has, you know it has


VERSE 2:

A
Tonight I pray we'll never part
A7
Because the love within my heart
      D              E
Grows stronger from day to day
 A
The best I try, hard I try
A7
To reassure and satisfy
        D                    E
You know I'd be lost if you went away


PRE-CHORUS:

D                   A        D                 A
When you said you loved me (when you said you loved me)
D                   A        D               A
And we could not be parted (we could not be parted)
  D                  A          D               A
So I built my world around you (built my world around you)
       D              A
And I'm truly glad I found you, because


CHORUS:

A               A7                       D
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever
E
Yes it has, you know it has
A               A7                       D       E
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever

D                   A        D                 A
When you said you loved me (when you said you loved me)
D                   A        D               A
And we could not be parted (we could not be parted)
  D                  A          D               A
So I built my world around you (built my world around you)
       D              A

Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever
