"You" by Marvin Gaye
From the 1968 album In the Groove/I Heard It Through the Grapevine
[Verse]
DmYou, you I see in my Gmmirror in the mornin'
InFmstead of seein' Dmme
I see Dmyou, I see your face
And iGmnside me is a growing need for Fmyour emDmbrace
In the Dmlight of day, though our Bbfaces meet
Someone Dmthere might see so we Bbnever speak
Till the Dmdark of night, while the Bbmoon is new
While we Dmwhisper words of love in our Bbsecret rendezvous
Somethin's Gmwrong I know, girl I Amlove you so
Yes I need Dmyou, I need you baby
[Verse]
Oh Dmyou, my sweetest joy
You can Gmafford the best of life
I'm just a Fheartbreakin' Dmboy
Oh Dmyou've given your love to me
Girl, I can't Gmlet you hurt yourself by being Fmseen with Dmme
We're Dmworlds apart, so close yet Bbworlds apart
So we must Dmhide the love we're feelin' Bbin our hearts
We meet in Dmshadows, your friends must Bbnever know
That we are Dmlovers, darlin'
Although it Bbhurts me so, for your Gmsake no one must see
The press of Amlove you're givin' me
But you Dmknow, I need you baby
[Bridge]
Dm Gm F Dm
[Verse]
One day I'll Dmmake the break, my love will Bbstart to shine
I can Dmtell the world that you are Bbmine, all mine
Till then we Dmmust go on the way we Bbhave before
And never Dmlet it show without each Bbother's souls
I'll never Gmone-way track 'cause there's Amno turnin' back
DmOh I need you baby
[Outro]
DmYou, you I see oh in my Gmmirror in the mornin'
InsFtead of seein' Dmme
I Dmsee you

From the 1968 album In the Groove/I Heard It Through the Grapevine

[Verse]

Dm Gm

You, you I see in my mirror in the mornin'

Fm Dm

Instead of seein' me

I see you, I see your face

Gm Fm Dm

And inside me is a growing need for your embrace

Till the dark of night, while the moon is new

Dm Bb

While we whisper words of love in our secret rendezvous

Somethin's wrong I know, girl I love you so

Yes I need you, I need you baby

Oh you, my sweetest joy

You can afford the best of life

F Dm

I'm just a heartbreakin' boy

Oh you've given your love to me

Gm Fm Dm

Girl, I can't let you hurt yourself by being seen with me

Dm Bb

We're worlds apart, so close yet worlds apart

Dm Bb

So we must hide the love we're feelin' in our hearts

Dm Bb

We meet in shadows, your friends must never know

That we are lovers, darlin'

Bb Gm

Although it hurts me so, for your sake no one must see

The press of love you're givin' me

But you know, I need you baby

[Bridge]

Dm Gm F Dm

[Verse]

Dm Bb

One day I'll make the break, my love will start to shine

And never let it show without each other's souls

Gm Am

I'll never one-way track 'cause there's no turnin' back

Oh I need you baby

You, you I see oh in my mirror in the mornin'
