Verse 1:

C/E                                        Cmaj7/E [1: Dm6/9  2-4: Dm9]
 I could love you more and more each day for a million years
C/E                                 Cmaj7/E    D   Dsus4
And I'd sit around all day just crying happy tears

Chorus:

              D               Dsus2       D
To [2: But] dance and sing my life away (life away)
    Dsus4    Dm9           C/D               D   Dsus4  D  Dsus4
And laughing with you, my darling, softly to me

[1: Cmaj7/E            Dm9 ]
     / / / /  / / / /   / / / /   / / / /

Verse 2:

Orange, sugar, chocolate, hot cinnamon and lovely things and you
And darling, you know there was really nothing else that I could do

[repeat chorus]

Bridge:

        Bmaj7
And my darling you will never know how elegant
                      Amaj7 [x06650]
    you'll always be to me
        Bmaj7
And my darling I was so in love it was evident for anyone

Verse 3:

To see, and I suppose they already do
And how come so suddenly everything depends on you

[repeat chorus]

[guitar solo over bridge chords]

Verse 4:

And if I kissed you once I'd probably do it again
But then that's not so inconceivable, my friend

Coda:

D  Dsus4  D  Dsus4
