If you just (Csus2)re al ize what I just (G)re al ized, then we’d be (Am7)per fect for each oth er and we’ll (F)nev er find an oth er.

Just (Csus2)re al ize what I just (G)re al ized.

We’d (Am7)nev er have to won der.

Just (Csus2)re al ize what I just (G)re al ized.

If you just (Csus2)re al ize what I just (G)re al ized…
