           G                               D                    G
        There's nothing 'round here that's sacred
                 Em            C
        'Cept you, yeah you
                             G                       D                       G
        And there's nothing around here to me that matters
                 Em             C
        'Cept you, yeah you.


C
You're the one that reaches me
                    G
You're the one that I admire
C
Every time we meet together
    G
I feel like I'm on fire
C
Nothing matters to me
                      G            Em
And there's nothing I desire
          C             Am
'Cept you, yeah you.


        Nothing 'round here I care to try for
        'Cept you, yeah you
        Got nothing here to live or die for
        'Cept you, yeah you

There's a hymn I used to hear
In the churches all the time
Make me feel so good inside
So peaceful, so sublime
And there's nothing that remind me of that
Old familiar chime
'Cept you, uh huh you.

C
Used to play in the cemetery
                                                                 G
Dance and sing and run when I was a child

And it never seemed strange
C
But now I just pass mournfully
                                                                     G
By that place where the bones of life are piled

I know somethin' has changed


        I'm a stranger here and no one sees me
        'Cept you, yeah you
        Nothing anymore seems to please me
        'Cept you, yeah you.

Nothing hypnotizes me
Or holds me in a spell
Everything runs by me
Just like water from a well
Everybody wants my attention
Ev'rybody's got something to sell
'Cept you, yeah you

Am                     G
I'm in love with you.
