(Gb)Would n’t have (Db)noth in’ if I (Ab)did n’t have, (Db)would n’t have (Ab)noth in’ if I did n’t have, (Db)would n’t have (Bb)noth in’. For years I have en vied your grace and your charm. Ev ’ry one loves you, you know. Yes, I (Bb7)know, I know, I know. But I must ad (Eb9)mit it, big guy, you al ways come (Abm6)through. I (C7)would n’t have (F9)noth ing if I (Bb7sus)did n’t have (Eb)you. You and (Abmaj7)me to (D7sus)geth er, that’s how it (Gm)al ways should (Gm7)be.
