[Intro]
Amaj7 G#m F#m7 G#m (x2)
(w/guitar solo)
[Verse]
Amaj7 G#m
I could be discontent and chase the rainbow's end
F#m7 G#m
I might win much more but lose all that is mine
Amaj7 G#m
I could be a lot but I know I'm not
F#m7 G#m
I'm content just with the riches that you bring
Amaj7 G#m
I might shoot to win and commit the sin
F#m7 G#m
Of wanting more than I've already got
Amaj7 G#m
I could run away but I'd rather stay
F#m7 G#m
In the warmth of your smile lighting up my day
Amaj7
(The one that makes me say...)
[Chorus]
F# Bmaj7
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened
F# Bmaj7
to me or my world
F# Bmaj7 Emaj7 Bmaj7
You're the best thing that ever happened, so don't go away
[Verse]
Amaj7 G#m F#m7 G#m (x2)
(Saxophone solo)
Amaj7 G#m
I might be a king and steal my people's things
F#m7 G#m
But I don't go for that power-crazy way
Amaj7 G#m
All that I could rule but I don't check for fools
F#m7 G#m
All that I need is to be left to live my way
Amaj7
(Say listen what I say)
[Chorus]
F# Bmaj7
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened
F# Bmaj7
to me or my world
F# Bmaj7 Emaj7 Bmaj7
You're the best thing that ever happened, so don't go away
[Bridge]
Amaj7
For the soul of me
G#m
You're the best for me
F#m7
Come on rob my dreams
G#m
But take this chance for me
Amaj7 G#m F#m7 G#m
[Chorus]
F# Bmaj7
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened
F# Bmaj7
to me or my world
F# Bmaj7 Emaj7 Bmaj7
You're the best thing that ever happened, so don't go away
Bmaj7
Hey hey hey hey hey
F# Bmaj7
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened
F# Bmaj7
to me or my world
F# Bmaj7 Emaj7
You're the best thing that ever happened, so don't go
[Outro]
Emaj7
I said don't go
Emaj7 Bmaj7
No, no, don't go a - way.
