And   I   never thought I'd feel this way.  And as far as I'm concerned.
           G7sus      G7       Cm7          Abmaj7           Fm7/Bb

                G7sus        G7    Cm7          Abmaj7           Fm7/Bb
and now there's   so   much more I see.  And so   by   the way I thank you.
   Ebmaj9          Gm7        Cm7   Fm7                                Dm7(no 5)
And then  for the times when we're apart - well then close your eyes & know
