[Intro]
Am  F  C  G  (repeat 1x)
[Verse 1]
Am            F   C
    I remem - ber tryin’ not to stare the
G                  Am       F
Night that I first met you
C                   G
You had me Mesmer - ized
    Am                       F
And three weeks later in the front porch light
       C                     G
Takin’ forty five minutes to kiss goodnight
         F
I hadn’t told you yet
                                 G  C
But, I thought I loved you then
[Chorus 1]
                    G
Now you’re my whole life
                    Am
Now you’re my whole world
       G     F
I just can’t believe the way I
     G         C
Feel about you girl
                       G
Like a river meets the sea
         G#dim          Am
Stronger than it’s ever been
                  G          F
We’ve come so far since that day
                          C     G
And I thought I loved you then
[Verse 2]
Am                F   C
    And I remem - ber taking you back
   G                   Am       F
To right where I first met you
C                 G
You were so sur - prised
           Am                F
There were people around but I didn’t care
  C               G
I got down on one knee right there
F
And once again
                            G  C
I thought I loved you then
[Chorus 1]
                    G
Now you’re my whole life
                    Am
Now you’re my whole world
       G     F
I just can’t believe the way I
     G         C
Feel about you girl
                       G
Like a river meets the sea
         G#dim          Am
Stronger than it’s ever been
                  G          F
We’ve come so far since that day
                          C     G
And I thought I loved you then
[Solo]
Am  G  F
[Bridge]
           G
I can just see you
       F           C
With a baby on the way
           G
I can just see you
          F               C
When your hair is turnin’ grey
Am                  G
What I can’t see is how I’m ever
C     G        F
Gonna love you more
                         G       C
But, I’ve said that be - fore
[Chorus 2]
                    G
Now you’re my whole life
                    Am
Now you’re my whole world
       G     F
I just can’t believe the way I
     G         C
Feel about you girl
                     G
We’ll look back some day
               G#dim      Am
At this moment that we’re in
                 G       F
And I’ll look at you and say
                          C     G
And I thought I loved you then
                          Am    F
And I thought I loved you then
[Outro]
C  G  Am  F  (repeat until end)
This is my interpretation of the song and is what I hear. Since
U-G doesn't always include the correct chord voicings, I have
included all of them in this transcription. Please feel free to
experiment with your own chord voicings.
