And it’s (Gm7)still

just to (F6)have my arms a (D)round you.

(G9)Still

(CN.C.)Seems like (D)old

(D7)times,

(D)hav ing you to walk with, seems like (G9)old

And it’s (Gm7)still

just to (F6)have my arms a (D)round you.

(G9)Still

(G7)the thrill

that it (C7)was the day I found you.

(CN.C.)Seems like (D)old
