Lyrics

They (D)say we’re young and (G)we don’t know, (D)we won’t find (G)out till we (A)grow.

Well, (D)I don’t know if (G)all that’s true, ’cause (D)you got me, and (G)ba by, (C)I got (A)you.

(D)Babe,

I got (D)you, babe.

I got (D)you, babe.

They (D)say our love won’t (G)pay the rent; be (D)fore it’s earned, our (C)mon ey’s all been (A)spent.

I (D)guess that’s so, we don’t (G)have a pot, but at (D)least I’m sure of (C)all the things we (A)got.

(D)Babe,

I got (D)you, babe.

I got (D)you, babe.

I got (Em7)flow ers

in the spring,

I got (Em7)you

to wear my ring.

And when I’m (D)sad,

you’re a (G)clown,

and if I get (D)scared

you’re al ways a (A7)round.

So (Eb)let them say your (Ab)hair’s too long, ’cause (Eb)I don’t care, with (Db)you I can’t do (Bb)wrong.

Then (Eb)put your lit tle (Ab)hand in mine, (Eb)there ain’t no hill or (Db)moun tain we can’t (Bb)climb.

(Eb)Babe,

I got (Eb)you, babe,

I got (Eb)you, babe.
