From the CD, "What I Live To Do" - Sony Records
Key of Ab - Capo 1st fret
[Intro]
|     G|    Em|     C|  D   D   C  D  
[Verse 1]
              |                 G|Em  
Hold it right there, don't say a word
         |               C|D  
I hear a voice I've never heard
           |                       G|Em  
Calling my name, saying this is the one
      |                      C|D  
Oh my goodness, what have you done?
        |              C|                D|    G-               D| C   C   C  G  
I could turn around and walk away, saying this is too good to be real
     |     C|              D|        G|G  
But, oh no, I don't think I will
[Chorus]
          |          C|         D|  G-         D| C   C   C  G  
Because I absolutely, positively know without a doubt
|              C|             D|                G|G  
You're becoming someone I just could not live without
      |            C|                      D|  G-           D| C   C   C  G  
I was so afraid I'd spend my whole life not knowing how this feels
     |     C|              D|    G|    Em|     C| D   D   C  D  
But, oh no, I don't think I will
[Verse 2]
              |                 G|Em  
I could just do what I've done before
 |               C|D  
Blame it all on the moon, say it's nothing more
           |                       G|Em  
Than the pull of the tide, and it's gonna pass
      |                      C|D  
But something's telling me this time it's gonna last
        |              C|                D|    G-               D| C   C   C  G  
I could close my eyes and just pretend I don't feel the way I feel
     |     C|              D|        G|G  
But, oh no, I don't think I will
[Chorus]
          |          C|         D|  G-         D| C   C   C  G  
Because I absolutely, positively know without a doubt
|              C|             D|                G|G  
You're becoming someone I just could not live without
      |            C|                      D|  G-           D| C   C   C  G  
I was so afraid I'd spend my whole life not knowing how this feels
     |     C|D  
But, oh no, I don't think I
|       C|D  
Oh yeah, I don't think I
|     C| DN.C.         |    G|   Em|     C| D   D   C    D| GN.C.
Oh no, I don't think I will
