[Verse 1]

C
What a thing to see
G
What a thing to be
F                                C
What a perfect love, what a perfect home
C
'Cause every time she walks
    G
And every time she talks
F                                     C
Is every time he knows what a perfect world he's living on

[Pre-Chorus]

        Am                      C
But whenever he's gone and when she's all alone
    F                            G
His heart goes out to her on the telephone

[Chorus]

             C             G
And he says, "Sugar, how I love you
      F                       C
How I think about you all the time"
              C                       G
He calls her "Sugar" 'cause she's the sweetest thing
              F                     C
Oh, she's the best thing he'll ever find

[Verse 2]

C
With her midnight hair
    G
And with his favorite stare
F                                      C
She's a southern belle, he's a rockout king
C
When she looks around
    G
Oh, she knows she's found
F                               C
Such a perfect life, such a perfect thing

[Pre-Chorus]

        Am                      C
But whenever he's gone and when she's all alone
    F                            G
His heart goes out to her on the telephone

[Chorus]

             C             G
And he says, "Sugar, how I love you
      F                       C
How I think about you all the time"
              C                       G
He calls her "Sugar" 'cause she's the sweetest thing
              F                     C
Oh, she's the best thing he'll ever find

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]

              Am               C
Oh, there's a reason for every season
          F                 G              C
There's a change within the range of every heart
        Am             C
But the reason and the season
F                   G
Seem to be right so far

[Chorus]

             C             G
And he says, "Sugar, how I love you
      F                       C
How I think about you all the time"
              C                       G
He calls her "Sugar" 'cause she's the sweetest thing
              F                     C
Oh, she's the best thing he'll ever find
