Intro: Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Cadd9 G
You're the sun and the moon and all the stars,
Cadd9 G
You're my first thought in the morning, and you are,
Cadd9 G
The wind as it blows over my head,
D Cadd
You're the one that I love best
Cadd9 G
You're the reason that I breathe and that I lie,
Cadd9 G
You're the reason that I left my friends behind,
Cadd9 G
You're the reason that I cry myself to sleep,
D Cadd9
You're the only one I need
Cadd9 G
And I can't stand the thought of waking up another morning,
Em
Not knowing if you're mine
Cadd9 G
And I can't stand the thought of living without you
D Cadd9
Oh I would rather die
G D Cadd9
Oh the one that I love best, please be mine
Cadd9 G
I can still feel your breathe upon my neck,
Cadd9 G
You can still smell my perfume in your bed,
Cadd9 G
I can still see your footsteps in the yard,
D Cadd9
You're the one that broke my heart
Cadd9 G
And I can't stand the thought of waking up another morning,
Em
Not knowing if your mine
Cadd9 G
And I can't stand the thought of living without you
D Cadd9
Oh I would rather die
G D Cadd9
Oh the one that I love best,
G D Cadd9
Oh the one that I love best,
G D Cadd9
Oh the one that I love best,
D Cadd9
Please be mine
