	Eb
	Bernadette
	Dbadd9
	   People are searching for

	   The kind of love that we possess
	Eb
	Some go on
	Dbadd9
	   Searching their whole life through

	Gb/Db               Ebm
	And when I speak of you
	 Abm7              Abm7/Db Abm/Db
	I see envy in other men's eyes
	Gb/Db   Ebm
	And I'm well aware
	         Abm7           Abm7/Db Abm/Db
	Of what's on their mind
	Abm7           Gb/Bb
	They pretend to be my friend

	When all the time (sweet Bernadette)
	Abm7     Gb/Bb           Dbsus4                Db
	They long to persuade you from my side (sweet Bernadette)
	       Abm7               Bbm
	They'd give the world and all they own
	   Dbsus4           Db
	For just one moment we have known

Verse 2:

	Bernadette
	They want you because
	Of the pride that it gives
	But Bernadette
	I want you because
	I need you to live

Chorus 2:

	But while I live  only to hold you
	Some other men, they long to control you
	But how can they control you, Bernadette (sweet Bernadette)
	When they cannot control themselves, Bernadette (sweet Bernadette)
	From wanting you, needing you
	But darling

Verse 3:

	You belong to me
	I tell the world
	You belong to me, I tell the world
	You're the soul of me
	I tell the world
	You're a part of me, Bernadette

Bridge:

	Gb            Cbmaj7                     Ebm
	In your arms I find the kind of peace of mind
	                       Bb  Cbdim
	The world is searching for
	    Gb                  Cbmaj7                      Ebm
	But you, you give me the joy this heart of mine has always
	             Bb
	Been longing for

Chorus 3:

	In you I have what other men are longing for
	All men need someone to worship and adore
	That's why I treasure you and place you high above
	For the only joy in life is to be loved
	So whatever you do, Bernadette
