Intro

[Amaj7] [C#m7] [Bm7]

Verse 1

[Amaj7]There's nothing you can do to turn me [C#m]away
[Bm7]Nothing anyone can [Amaj7]say
[D#m7]You're with me [D#]now and as long as you [C#m7]stay
[C#m7]Lovin' you's the right thing to [Emaj7]do
[Bm7]Lovin' you's the right [F#m7]thing

Verse 2

[Amaj7]I know you've had some bad luck with ladies [C#m]before
[Bm7]They drove you or you drove them [Amaj7]crazy
[D#m7]But more important is I know you're the one and [D#]I'm [C#m7]sure
[C#m7]Lovin' you's the right thing to [Emaj7]do
[Bm7]Lovin' you's the right [F#m7]thing

Bridge

[Bm7]And it used to be for a [C#m7]while
[Amaj7]That the river [F#m7]flowed right to my [Bm7]door [Amaj7]
[Bm7]Making me just a little too [C#m7]free
[F#m7]But now the river doesn't seem to stop here [Amaj7]anymore

Verse 3

[Amaj7]Hold me in your hands like a bunch of [C#m]flowers
[Bm7]Set me moving to your sweetest [Amaj7]song
[D#m7]And I know what I think I've known all [D#]a[C#m7]long
[C#m7]Lovin' you's the right thing to [Emaj7]do
[Bm7]Lovin' you's the right [F#m7]thing [Amaj7]
Lovin' you's the right thing to do
Is the right thing

Outro

Nothing you could ever do would turn me away from you
I love you now and I love you now
Even though you're ten thousand miles away
I'll love you tomorrow as I love you today
I'm in love babe
I'm in love with you babe
