F                     Gm           C
Cherish is the word I use to describe
        F                          Gm             C
All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside
               Am                                    Bb
You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you
               Am                                      Bb
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you
               Am
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could
Bb            Am   
Mold you into someone who could
Gm                    Bb Gm      C   
cherish me as much as I  cherish you

F                       Gm             C
Perish is the word that more than applies
       F                     Gm         C
To the hope in my heart each time I realize
          Am                                 Bb
That I am not gonna be the one to share your dreams
          Am                                 Bb
That I am not gonna be the one to share your schemes
          Am                                
That I am not gonna be the one to share what
Bb       Am     Gm
Seems to be the life that you could
Bb                 Gm   C   
Cherish as much as I do yours

        Gm                      C
Oh, I'm beginning to think that man has never found
    Am                        E
The words that could make you want me
              C                        F              Dm
That have the right amount of letters, just the right sound
           Bb             Gm
That could make you hear, make you see
             Eb                   C
That you are drivin' me out of my mind

                  F                        C
Oh, I could say I need you, but then you'd realize
       Cm                   D
That I want you just like a thousand other guys
               Bb                      C
Who'd say they loved you, with all the rest of their lies
              Dm            Bb        
When all they wanted was to touch your face, your hands
    Eb             C  D7
And gaze into your eyes

G                     C              Bb  C
Cherish is the word I use to describe
        G                          C                  Bb  C
All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside
               Bm                                    C
You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you
               Bm                                      C
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you
               Bm
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could
C        Bm   Am
Mold you into someone who could
F                               D
Cherish me as much as I cherish you

G   C  D    G  C    D
And I  do   cherish you
G   C  D    G  C    D
And I  do   cherish you

D       
Cherish is the word
