VERSE 2

Some people search for a fountain 
That Promises forever young, you know 
Some people need three dozen roses 
And that's the only way to prove you love to them 
Hand me the world on a silver platter 
And what good would it be 
With no one to share, with no one who truly cares for me 


REPEAT CHORUS TWICE

6  8  -8    8   -8   8  7  4  3
If I ain't got you with me ba-by 

6     -7  6  -6b 7    8     -7   -7   
Said noth-in in this whole wide world 

-7     8   -7  -7
Don't mean a thing 

6  8  -7    -7   7   8  -7  8  -7
If I ain't got you with me ba-by
