[Opening]
It’s [G]you I [Em]like, It’s [Am]not the things you [D]wear,
It’s [Am]not the way you [D]do your hair.

[verse 2]
But it’s [Bm]you I [Em]like, the [C]way you are right [Bm]now,
The [Am]way down [D]deep in[G]side you,
[Am]Not the [B]things that [Em]hide you,
Not your [A]toys, they’re just be[D]side you.

[Closing]
But it’s [G]you I [Em]like, [Am]every part of [D]you.
Your [Am]skin, your eyes, your [D]feelings
Whether [Bm]old or [Em]new.
I [C]hope that you’ll re[B]member, even [Em]when you’re feeling [A]blue
That it’s [G]you I like, it’s [C]you your[D]self,
It’s [Bm]you, [Em]it’s [Am]you [D]I [G]like. [C] [G]
