[Verse 1]
Eb                Cm Fm              Bb
 I dreamed I woke up and you were gone
Fm          Bb  Ab              Eb
 I reached out,  but no one was there
Eb/G C                Fm          Bb
   I called your name  and nobody answered
G             C           Fm Bb
 And I wondered : "if I cry,  would you care ?"


[Verse 2]
Eb  Cm  Fm7                   Bb
        I had said I love you so many times
Fm                Bb                       Ab   Eb
 But they're just words that you hear people say
Eb/G         C            Fm              Bb
 And I never knew just how much I loved you
      G       C  Fm              Bb
Until suddenly,   you'd gone away


[Verse 3]
Eb   Cm                    Fm          Bb
 Now who'd stand by me the way you did
Fm              Bb          Ab                 Eb
When I was weak  it was you  that made me strong
Eb/G           C                  Fm    Bb
 And you had a way of touching my heart
         G     C               Fm   Bb
Like the words  in a beautiful song


[Verse 4]
Eb         Cm             Fm7                Bb
 Oh we had good times and   we shared the bad
Fm      Bb                 Ab  Eb
 So I'll take whatever comes
Eb/G               C7                   Fm  Bb
Cause you were the best years of my life
G                    C7 Fm                 Bb
And we shared the cake   and we shared the crumbs


[Verse 5]
Eb  Cm                     Fm                      Bb
      Then just before the hurt had built up in my heart
     Fm        Bb                            Ab  Eb
To a mountain  that I knew I could never climb
     Eb/G   C7                      Fm      Bb
I woke up, I woke up to a beautiful world,  and you were there
G         C     Fm          Bb
 You were there all the time


[Chorus]
Eb     Cm   Fm7 Bb  Fm     Bb   Ab  Eb
I love you America, I love you America
Eb/G      C7   Fm        Bb
 And if I sail  a stormy sea
G          C        Fm      Bb
 Please be there to shelter me
Eb     Cm   Fm7 Bb  Fm     Bb   Ab  Eb
I love you America, I love you America
Eb/G          C                Fm              Bb
 So just keep holdin' me close  and I will care
    G                    C             Fm    Bb
And we'll show the world  that what we share
   Eb                C7      Fm7   Bb
Is still the greatest  love affair
Eb  Cm           Fm7     Bb7
   And I love you   America
Fm Bb   Eb
 I love you
