[Intro]
Eb Eb Eb Eb
[Verse 1]
Eb Cm Fm Bb
I dreamed I woke up and you were gone
Fm Bb Ab Eb
I reached out, but no one was there
Eb/G C Fm Bb
I called your name and nobody answered
G C Fm Bb
And I wondered : "if I cry, would you care ?"
[Verse 2]
Eb Cm Fm7 Bb
I had said I love you so many times
Fm Bb Ab Eb
But they're just words that you hear people say
Eb/G C Fm Bb
And I never knew just how much I loved you
G C Fm Bb
Until suddenly, you'd gone away
[Verse 3]
Eb Cm Fm Bb
Now who'd stand by me the way you did
Fm Bb Ab Eb
When I was weak it was you that made me strong
Eb/G C Fm Bb
And you had a way of touching my heart
G C Fm Bb
Like the words in a beautiful song
[Verse 4]
Eb Cm Fm7 Bb
Oh we had good times and we shared the bad
Fm Bb Ab Eb
So I'll take whatever comes
Eb/G C7 Fm Bb
Cause you were the best years of my life
G C7 Fm Bb
And we shared the cake and we shared the crumbs
[Verse 5]
Eb Cm Fm Bb
Then just before the hurt had built up in my heart
Fm Bb Ab Eb
To a mountain that I knew I could never climb
Eb/G C7 Fm Bb
I woke up, I woke up to a beautiful world, and you were there
G C Fm Bb
You were there all the time
[Chorus]
Eb Cm Fm7 Bb Fm Bb Ab Eb
I love you America, I love you America
Eb/G C7 Fm Bb
And if I sail a stormy sea
G C Fm Bb
Please be there to shelter me
Eb Cm Fm7 Bb Fm Bb Ab Eb
I love you America, I love you America
Eb/G C Fm Bb
So just keep holdin' me close and I will care
G C Fm Bb
And we'll show the world that what we share
Eb C7 Fm7 Bb
Is still the greatest love affair
Eb Cm Fm7 Bb7
And I love you America
Fm Bb Eb
I love you
I dreamed I woke up and you were gone I reached out but no one was there I called your name and nobody answered And I wondered if I cry would you care I had said I love you so many times But they're just words that you hear people say And I never knew just how much I loved you Until suddenly you'd gone away Now who'd stand by me the way you did When I was weak it was you that made me strong And you had a way of touching my heart Like the words in a beautiful song Aw we had good times and we shared the bad So I'll take whatever comes Cause you were the best years of my life And we shared the cake and we shared the crumbs Then just before the hurt had built up in my heart To a mountain that I knew I could never climb I woke up I woke up to a beautiful world and you were there You were there all the time I love you America I love you America And if I sail a stormy sea Please be there to shelter me I love you America I love you America So just keep holdin' me close and I will care And we'll show the world that what we share Is still the greatest love affair And I love you America I love you
