Verse:

C                                   Fmaj7
Hey there I said it I'm in love, with you.
C                                           Fmaj7
There's an ocean between us just like me, deep and Blue.
C                  Fmaj7
And I, at times have had nothing.
      C                    Fmaj7
But tonight, I want nothing but you.


Chorus:

Am
You're the only thing I want
Am
The only thing I want
Am                    D9 D7sus4 D9
The only thing on my mind
         Am G C
All the time

Verse:

C                                               Fmaj7
Staying up 'till dawn won't take its toll, 'Till we get old.
C                                          Fmaj7
And drinking is just the way, we keep away the cold.
C                       Fmaj7
And you, you know what it means.
C                          Fmaj7
To be true, and searching like me.

You're the only thing I need
