To Have You Around

C  G C  D C  C

[Verse One]

    D          C
We won't say a word — unless we 
write it all down
       G         C
But I don't want nothing, but to 
have you around
G                C           D  
Words, they get lost between me 
         C
and the sound
              D          C        
That's why I don't need nothing, 
       D       Cmaj7   C
but to have you around


D     G      C          D   G  
Oh-Oh-Oh, I wait for a 
D             C
gho-o-o-st — an empty chair

[Verse Two]

    G            C       D       
If they raise me up, or they cut 
   C
me down
      D          C               
Hey I don’t care nothing, but to 
D           C
have you around
      D          C           
And I don't even mind if I'm a 
  D              C
friend or your clown—
        D          C               
Cause I don't want nothing, but to 
D          C
have you around


D     G      C          D   G  
Oh-Oh-Oh, I wait for a 
D             C
gho-o-o-st — an empty chair

C      D        C
       Ooh-ooh-ooh
D             C
Ooh-ooh-oh-oh-oh

[Verse Three]

C                         D      
You cut the cloth of the skin 
       C
where I’m bound
             D           C        
That’s why I don’t want nothing, 
      D          Cmaj7  C
but to have you around
             D           C       
That’s why I don’t want nothing, 
Cmaj7  D          Cmaj7
but to have you around
             D           Cmaj7    
That's why I don't want nothing, 
      D          Cmaj7
but to have you around

D           Cmaj7
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Cmaj7       C
Ooh-ooh-ooh-Ooh-ooh-ooh
C     Cmaj7  C
Ooh-Ooh-Ooh
