              D                                           G             D 
You're a sweet sweetheart You've been a real good friend 
                    A                          G              D 
You're around when I'm down To pick me up again 
                       A                 G                          D 
Though it could never be said To my faults you're blind 
       G                D                G                           D 
You overlook the bad And you keep all the good in mind 
  
                                                        G                  D 
Now, there have been times When we couldn't get it on 
                         A                        G               D 
And I thought I'd have to admit The feeling was gone 
                   A                           G                     D 
But you just closed your mind To all the seeds of doubt 
                            A                    G                     D 
And somehow you found a way To make it all work out 
  
 
              D                                           G             D 
You're a sweet sweetheart You've been a real good friend 
                    A                          G              D 
You're around when I'm down To pick me up again 
                       A                 G                          D 
Though it could never be said To my faults you're blind 
       G                D                G                           D 
You overlook the bad And you keep all the good in mind 
  
                                                  G               D 
Now when you come home At the close of the day 
                          A                         G                  D 
You got a way of lookin'That sends a message my way 
                             A         G                        D 
What this message means Any old fool could see 
                                           A                         G                    D 
And the thing that makes me feel so well Is you mean it just for me
