[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G D G
Nothing 'round here to me that's sacred
Em C
'Cept you, yeah you
G D G
there's nothing round here to me that matters
Em C
'Cept you, yeah you
C
You're the one that reaches me
G
You're the one that I admire
C
Every time we meet together
G
I feel like I'm on fire
C
Nothing matters to me
G Em
And there's nothing I desire
C Am
'Cept you, yeah you
[Verse 2]
G D G
Nothing 'round here I care to try for
Em C
'Cept you, yeah you
G D G
Got nothing here to live or die for
Em C
'Cept you, yeah you
C
There's a hymn I used to hear
G
In the churches all the time
C
Make me feel so good inside
G
So peaceful, so sublime
C
And there's nothing that reminds me of that
G Em
Old familiar chime
C Am
Except you, uh huh you
[Chorus]
C
Used to play in the cemetery
G
Dance and sing and run when I was a child
and it never seemed strange
C
But now I just pass mournfully
G
By that place where the bones of life are piled
I know somethin' has changed
[Verse 3]
G D G
I'm a stranger here and no one sees me
C Em
'Cept you, yeah you
G D G
Nothing anymore seems to please me
C Em
'Cept you, yeah you
C
Nothing hypnotizes me
G
Or holds me in a spell
C
Everything runs by me
G
Just like water from a well
C
Everybody wants my attention
G D
Ev'rybody got something to sell
C Em
'Cept you, yeah you.
[Outro]
Am G
I'm in love with you.
