[Verse 1]
    C      C/B      Am      G       F       F/E   Dm7       G
Whenever I see your smiling face, I have to smile myself, because I
     C    Am    F    G
love you.
    C             C/B     Am            G       F        F/E    Dm7
And when you give me that pretty little pout it turns me inside out.
        G          C       Am            F    G
There's somethin' about ya baby, I don't know.

[Chorus]
Am       Em        F        D/F#   G    G#dim Am
Isn't it amazing a man like me can feel this way
G   F                C                   F             G
Oh, tell me how much longer.  I can grow stronger everyday
A
Ohhh......


(MOVE CAPO UP TO SIXTH FRET)


[Verse 2]
  C                C/B         Am        G       F             F/E
I thought I was in love just a couple of times before with the girl
      Dm7      G        C             Am               F
next door, but that was long before I met ya.  Now I'm sure that I
         G
won't forget ya.
      C        C/B   Am  G      F       F/E     Dm7     G
And I thank my lucky stars that you are who you are and not just
 C             Am              F        G
another lovely lady set out to break my heart.

[Chorus]
Am       Em        F        D/F#   G    G#dim Am
Isn't it amazing a man like me can feel this way?
G   F                C                   F             G
Oh, tell me how much longer.  I can grow stronger everyday
A
Ohhh......

(After the chorus, move the capo up to the eighth fret)

         G
Somebody talk to me

[Bridge]
C          Am           F         G          C
No one can tell me that I'm doin' wrong today
Am                 F          G
Whenever I see you smilin' at me
C          Am           F         G          C
No one can tell me that I'm doin' wrong today
C                  Am                F        G
Whenever I see you shine that lovely thing my way

bridge progression.  Play the verse progression once, then play the bridge
progression once over and over until the end of the song.)
