(G9)(Wom an.)

When my soul was in the (G)lost and found,

you came a long to (F)claim it.

I did n’t know just what was (G)wrong with me

till your kiss helped me (F)name it.

Now I’m no long er (Em7)doubt ful of what I’m liv in’ (Em7)for.

And (Dm11)if I make ya hap py (Em7)I don’t need to do (D)more, ’cause (F)you make me (C)feel, (F)you make me feel,

Oh ba by, what you’ve (Gm7)done to me.

You make me feel so (Gm7)good in side, good in side.

And I just (Cm9)wan na be (Wan na be.) close to you; you (F)make me feel so a (Dm7)live.
