Baby, baby, baby, this is just to say
G+G          E minorEm                   A minorAm         D MajorD
How much I'm gonna' miss you, but believe while I'm away
G+G          E minorEm                   A minorAm         D MajorD

(I'd hurt myself, I'd hurt myself)


Verse:
G+G          E minorEm                A minorAm         D MajorD
     Baby, baby, baby, baby, think of me sometimes
G+G          E minorEm                  A minorAm         D MajorD
Because if loving you was so wrong, then I'm guilty of this crime
G+G          E minorEm                              A minorAm         D MajorD
I'm bewildered, I'm lonely, and I'm loveless, without you to hold my hand
G+G              E minorEm         DmDm             G+G
(Reach out for me, boy)  If you'd just understand
                         (Reach out to me, right now)

Those that we love, we foolishly make cry
A minorAm              D MajorD               G+G            G7G7
Then sometimes feel it's best to say goodbye, goodbye
C majorC      D MajorD               B minorBm      E minorEm
But what's inside can't be denied
