[Intro]
G N.C.            Am    D                    G          Gmaj7    G7
     Lay it on me baby, Lay it on me 'til it gets right under my skin
        C              D                C   Bb  G
And the merry mood I’m in makes way for lo--oo--ve

[Verse]
G                                B                A/F#            Cm
I'm walking these streets with a skip in my step, my hat’s on the side of my head
G           Em                   D  D6  D  D6
All down to you, I’m acting this way
G                     B               A/F#         Cm
Just like a fish in a babbling brook, I'm nibbling at your hook
G                   Em           D
Don't let me be the one that got away

[Bridge]
G                            Gaug          C/G               Cm
Cause you do something funda-mental to me, that I can almost taste
G                             Em                   D
And when I get weary, there's not a moment I wanna waste

[Chorus]
                  Am    D                     G       Gmaj7   G7
     Lay it on me baby, Lay it on me 'til the room be-gins to spin
        C              D                C   Bb  G
And the merry mood I’m in makes way for lo--oo--ve

[Break]
G Em A Cm G Em F D
(with scat vocals)

[Verse]
G               B               A/F#               Cm
You can’t buy a day this sunny, not for a tower of folding money
G                   Em           D
I’d dare a cloud to rain on this parade

[Bridge]
        G                         Gaug                C/G                Cm
Because bells start ringing and a bluebird’s singing, I stride the milky way
G                          Em                      D
Every time you give me the sign, and the look that way

[Chorus]
                  Am    D                    G          Gmaj7    G7
     Lay it on me baby, Lay it on me 'til it gets right under my skin
        C              D                C   Bb  G
And the merry mood I’m in makes way for lo--oo--ve
                  Am    D                    G       Gmaj7    G7
     Lay it on me baby, Lay it on me 'til it room be-gins to spin
        C              D                C   Bb  G
And the merry mood I’m in makes way for lo--oo--ve
