G                         Em 
  I needed the shelter of someone's arms 
D                C 
  and there you were 
G                          Em 
  I needed someone to understand my ups and downs 
D                C 
  and there you were 
G                       C 
  With sweet love and devotion 
Em                     C 
   deeply touching my emotion 
          G                  C 
I want to stop and thank you baby 
          G    N.C.          G 
I want to stop and thank you baby, yes I do

G                     Em 
  I close my eyes at night, 
D                                  C 
wondering where would I be without you in my life 
G                      Em 
  Everything I did was just a bore, 
D                              C 
everywhere I went it seems I'd been there before 
    G                         C 
But you brightened up for me all of my days 
Em                         C 
   With a love so sweet in so many ways 
          G                  C 
I want to stop and thank you baby 
               G    N.C.          G 
I just want to stop and thank you baby

G                             C 
 You were better to me than I was to myself 
    Em                              C 
For me, there's you and there ain't nobody else 
          G                  C 
I want to stop and thank you baby 
               G    N.C.          G 
I just want to stop and thank you baby, oh yes
