If you were falling

then I would catch you

you need a light

I'll find a match

cause I love the way you say good morning 

and you take me the way I am

F            Bb/F
If you are chilly 
Dm           C
here take my sweater
F            Bb/F
you're head is aching
Dm           C
I'll make it better

Bb      C        Csus4 Bsus4      Asus4
cause I love the way you call me baby
Bb      C#       Csus4    F
and u take me the way I am

F            Bb/F
I'd buy you Rogaine
Dm           C
when you start losing all your hair
F            Bb/F
sew on patches 
Dm           C
to all you tear

Bb      C        Csus4 Bsus4      Asus4
cause I love you more than I could ever promise 
Bb      C#       Csus4    D    C
and you take me the way I am 
Bb      C#           D
you take me the way I am
Bb      C#       Csus4    F
   you take me the way I am
