You to Me are Everything



You to Me are Everything

C…Am…Dm7…G (intro riff)

C
I would take the stars out of the sky for you,
Am
stop the rain from falling if you asked me to.
Dm Em7
I'd do anything for you, your wish is my command.
Dm G
I could move a mountain when your hand is in my hand.

C
Words can not express how much you mean to me,
Am
there must be some other way to make you see.
Dm Em7
If it takes my heart and soul, you know I'll pay the price.
Dm G
Ev'rything that I possess I'd gladly sacrifice.

C
You to me are everything,
G Dm7 G
the sweetest song that I could sing, oh baby, oh baby!
C
To you I guess I'm just a clown G Dm7 G
who picks you up each time you're down, oh baby, oh baby!
Dm Em7
You give me just a taste of love to build my hopes upon,
Dm7 G
you know you've got the power, girl, to keep me holding on.
C G
So now you've got the best of me,
Dm7 G
come on and take the rest of me, oh baby!

C…Am…Dm7…G

Though you're close to me, we seem so far apart.
Maybe, given time, you'll have a change of heart.
If it takes forever, girl, then I'm prepared to wait.
The day you give your love to me won't be a day too late.

Chorus, then key change…

D A
You to me are everything, the sweetest song
Em7 A
that I could sing, oh baby, oh baby! (repeated 3 times & fade out)

{Verse One}
Am                        Dm
First I was afraid, I was petrified
              G             G7               Cmaj7
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
      Fmaj7                         Bm7(5)
But I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
       Esus   E  Esus                 E
I grew strong, I learned how to carry on
              Am              Dm
and so you're back from outer space
              G              G7                 Cmaj7
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
              Fmaj7                                Bm7(5)
I should have changed my stupid lock I should have made you leave your key
         Esus               E               Esus           E
If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
 
{Chorus}
          Am              Dm
Go on now go walk out the door
          G         G7                 Cmaj7
just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
                Fmaj7                    Bm7(5)
weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
              Esus   E              Esus         E
you think I'd crumble you think I'd lay down and die
 
           Am           Dm
Oh no, not I, I will survive
   G              G7                 Cmaj7
as long as i know how to love I know I will stay alive
         Fmaj7                         Bm7(5)
I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give
            Esus E          Esus E
and I'll survive, I will survive

{Verse Two}
        Am                            Dm
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
            G                G7           Cmaj7
kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
            Fmaj7                          Bm7(5)
and I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
          Esus E       Esus            E
I used to cry,   Now I hold my head up high
            Am          Dm
and you see me somebody new
             G                 G7              Cmaj7
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you
           Fmaj7                            Bm7(5)
and so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
        Esus          E          Esus                 E
now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me
 
{Repeat Chorus}
 
{Fade}

I WILL SURVIVE
 
At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong, and I learned how to get along
 
/ Am Dm / G C / Fmaj7 Bb / E E7 /
 
And so you're back, from outer space
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock, I should have made you leave your key
If I'd've known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
 
{Lead-in to refrain}
Go on now go, walk out the door
Just turn around now, 'cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Did you think I'd crumble, did you think I'd lay down and die
 
{Refrain}
Oh no not I, I will survive
For as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live and I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive, I will survive, hey hey
 
It took all the strength I had just not to fall apart,
They're tryin' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights just feelin' sorry for myself
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high
 
And you see me, somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
Well, now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me
 
{Lead-in to refrain, with break me}
