Lyrics

Ba by, (Bm)last night

was, me (G)hands my (D)down,

one of the best nights

that I’ve (G)had, no (D)doubt,

be tween the bot tle of wine and the (Bm)look in your eyes and the (G)Mar vin (D)Gaye.

Then we danced in the dark un der (Bm)Sep tem ber stars in the (G)pour in’ (D)rain.

And I (Em)know that I (D)can’t ev er (G)tell you e (D)nough

that all I (Em)need in this (D)life is your (G)cra zy love.

If I (Bm)nev er get to see the (G)North ern (D)Lights,

or if I (Bm)nev er get to see the Eif fel (G)Tow er at (D)night,

oh, if (Bm)all I got is your (G)hand in my (D)hand,

ba by, (Bm)I could die

a (G)hap py (D)man,

a hap py (D)man, ba by.

Ba by, that (Bm)red dress

brings me (G)to my (D)knees.

Oh, but that black dress

makes it (G)hard to (D)breathe.

be You’re a saint, you’re a god dess, the (Bm)cut est, the hot test, a (G)mas ter (D)piece.

It’s too good to be true, noth in’ (Bm)bet ter than you in my (G)wild est (D)dreams.

And I (Em)know that I (D)can’t ev er (G)tell you e (D)nough

that all I (Em)need in this (D)life is your (G)cra zy love.

If I (Bm)nev er get to see the (G)North ern (D)Lights,

or if I (Bm)nev er get to see the Eif fel (G)Tow er at (D)night,

oh, if (Bm)all I got is your (G)hand in my (D)hand,

ba by, (Bm)I could die

a (G)hap py (D)man,

a hap py (D)man, ba by.

Ba by, that (G)hap py (D)man.

I don’t (G)need no va ca tion, no (Gm)fan cy des ti na tion.

Ba by, (D)you’re my great es cape.

We could (G)stay at home, lis ten to the (Gm)ra di o,

(D)dance a round the fire place.

Oh, if I (Bm)nev er get to build my (G)man sion in (D)Geor gia or drive a (Bm)sports car up the coast of (G)Cal i (D)for nia, oh, if (Bm)all I got is your (G)hand in my (D)hand,

ba by, (Bm)I could die

a (G)hap py (D)man.

Ba by, I could die

a (G)hap py (D)man.

Oh, (Bm)I could die

a (G)hap py (D)man.

You know I could, girl.

I could die, I could (D)die a hap py man.
