Verse 1:
[Cher] T[F]hey say we're young and[Bb/F] we don't know
We w[F]on't find out un[Bb]til[Eb] we g[C]row
[Sonny] Well, [F]I don't know if[Bb/F] all that's true
'Cause y[F]ou got me, and b[Bb]aby [Eb]I got y[C]ou
Chorus:
B[F]abe[Bb/F]
I got y[F]ou babe[Bb/F]
F [1: Bb/F 2: N.C.]
I got you babe
Verse 2:
[C] They say our love won't pay the rent
Before it's earned, our money's all been spent
[S] I guess that's so, we don't have a pot
But at least I'm sure of all the things we got
[repeat chorus]
Bridge:
[S] I got f[Gm]lowers in the sp[C]ring
I got [Gm]you to wear my r[C]ing
[C] And when I'm s[F]ad, you're a [Bb/F]clown
And if I get scared, you're always ar[C]ound[C#]
[key changes to F#]
Verse 3:
[C] [F#]So let them say your [B/F#]hair's too long
'Cause [F#]I don't care, with y[B]ou I c[E]an't go w[C#]rong
[S] Then [F#]put your little [B/F#]hand in mine
T[F#]here ain't no hill or m[B]ountain [E]we can't c[C#]limb
