Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F#][Bb][E]

[Verse 1]
[D]Why do I do just as you say?
[G]Why [Gm]must I just [D]give you your way?
[E]Why do I sigh?
Why don't I [A]try to forget
[D]

[Verse 2]
It [E]must have [D]been that
something lovers call fate
[G]Kept me [Gm]saying [D]I had to wait
[E]I saw them all
Just couldn't fall till we [A]met

[Verse 3]
It had to [D]be you, it had [B]to be you
I've wandered around,
[E]finally found somebody who
Could make me be [A]true
Could make [F#]me be[Bm] blue
And, [F#]even [E]be glad just to be
sad thinkin' [A]of you

[Verse 4]
Some others I've [D]seen
Might [B]never be mean
Might never be [E]cross
Or, try to be boss

[Verse 5]
But, they wouldn't do
[E]
For [D]nobody [Em]else gave [C]me a [A]thrill[C#dim]
[A]With all your [D]faults, [F#]I love you[Bm] still
It had to be [A]you, [Bb]wonder[Bdim]ful you[A]
It had to [D]be [A]you[D]

[Verse 6]
[D]Seems like, dreams like I've always had
[G]Could [Gm]be, should be [D]makin' me glad
[E]Why am I blue?
It's up to [A]you to explain
[D]

[Verse 7]
I'm [E]thinkin' [D]maybe, baby,
I'll go away
[G]Someday, some[Gm]where
[D]you'll come and say
[E]"It's you I need"
But you'll be breathing in [A]vain

[Verse 8]
It had to [D]be you, it had to [B]be you
I've wandered [D]around,
[E]finally found somebody who
Could make me be [A]true
Could make me [Bm]be blue
Or [F#]even be [E]glad just to be
sad thinkin' [A]of you

[Verse 9]
Some others I've [D]seen
Might never be [B]mean
Might never be [E]cross
Or, try to be boss

[Verse 10]
But, they wouldn't do
[E]
'Cause [D]nobody [Em]else gave me a[A] thrill
With all your [D]faults, [F#]I love you[Bm] still
It had to [A]be you, wonder[E]ful [A]you
It had [D]to be [A]you
[D]

[Interlude 1]
[B][E]
[A][Bm][F#][E][A]

[Verse 11]
Some others I've [D]seen
Might never be [B]mean
Might never be [E]cross
Or, try to be boss

[Verse 12]
But, they wouldn't do
For [D]nobody [G]else gave me a [Gm]thrill
With all your [D]faults, [F#]I love you sti[Bm]ll
It had to [A]be you, wonderful [A]you
It had [D]to be you
