You’re the sweetest thing that there’s ever been
AYou can make history just by walking in
F#mYou’re an animal lover this cat thinks you’re a kitten
AI want to rabbit about you to anyone who’ll listen

You’re ok
AYou’re alright
F#mDon’t have to be blind to know that you’re out of sight
AHaving said that my dearF#m  
DHow I wish that you were here
E                        A
You can talk the birds right down from the tree
You can make a grown man cry just by saying please
You’re an Olympic runner, stop them in their tracks
When you leave the field behind they keep on coming right back
You’re ok
You’re alright
Don’t have to be blind to know that you’re out of sight
Having said that my dear
How I wish that you were here
Well you’re the tops
