The day that I met you I started [Am]dreaming
[Dm]Now I write them down if I [G]remember, in the morning time
[C]I don’t know that much about [Am]Kingston
[Dm]but I like the sound it makes [G]when it starts pouring rain
[C]I think that tonight I’ll leave my [Am]light on
‘Cause [Dm]I get lonely when it’s out and [G]I miss you right about now, [C]hmm [Am]hmmm [Dm] [G]


[Dm]Baby, tell me where you wanna [C]go
[Dm]Baby, tell me what you wanna [C]know
[Dm]Give you everything I have and [C]more


[Am] [Dm] [G]
[C]He said, Baby, that’s what he called me, I [Am]love you
[Dm]Every single word you say [G]makes me feel some type of way
[C]It’s the thought of you that slightly [Am]scares me
[Dm]But it takes my breath away, [G]forget what I was gonna say
The [C]day that I met you I started [Am]dreaming
[Dm]Now I write them down if I [G]remember, in the morning time, [C]hmm [Am]hmmm [Dm] [G]


[Dm]Baby, tell me where you wanna [C]go
[Dm]Baby, tell me what you wanna [C]know
[Dm]Give you everything I have and [C]more


[Dm]Baby, tell me where you wanna [C]go
[Dm]Baby, tell me what you wanna [C]know
[Dm]Give you everything I have and [C]more


[Dm]Baby, tell me where you wanna [C]go
[Dm]Baby, tell me what you wanna [C]know
