[Opening]
[C] [Cmaj7]
You’re just too [C]good to be true, can’t take my [Cmaj7]eyes off you
You’d be like [C7]heaven to touch, I wanna [F]hold you so much
At long last [Fm]love has arrived, and I thank [C]God I’m alive
You’re just too [D]good to be true, [Dm]can’t take my [C]eyes off you

[verse 2]
Pardon the [C]way that I stare, there’s nothing [Cmaj7]else to compare
The sight of [C7]you leaves me weak, there are no [F]words left to speak
So if you [Fm]feel like I feel, please let me [C]know that it’s real
You’re just too [D]good to be true, [Dm]can’t take my [C]eyes off you

[Closing]
[Dm] [G7] [C] [Am] [Dm] [G7] [C] [A7] [A7]
I love you [Dm]baby and if it’s [G7]quite all right
I need you [Cmaj7]baby to warm the [Am7]lonely nights
I love you [Dm]baby, [G7]trust in me when I [C]say [A7]
Oh pretty [Dm]baby, don’t bring me [G7]down I pray
Oh pretty [C]baby, now that I’ve [Am7]found you stay
And let me [Dm]love you baby, let me [G7]love you
