[Intro]
Amaj7 G#m F#m7 G#m (x2)
(w/guitar solo)


Amaj7                G#m
I could be discontent and chase the rainbow's end
F#m7                      G#m
I might win much more but lose all that is mine
Amaj7                G#m
I could be a lot but I know I'm not
F#m7                      G#m
I'm content just with the riches that you bring
Amaj7                G#m
I might shoot to win and commit the sin
F#m7                 G#m
Of wanting more than I've already got
Amaj7                G#m
I could run away but I'd rather stay
F#m7                 G#m
In the warmth of your smile lighting up my day
Amaj7
(The one that makes me say...)


F#                                     Bmaj7
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened
F#          Bmaj7
to me or my world
F#                              Bmaj7        Emaj7      Bmaj7                   
You're the best thing that ever happened, so don't go away


Amaj7 G#m F#m7 G#m (x2)
(Saxophone solo)

Amaj7             G#m
I might be a king and steal my people's things
F#m7                    G#m
But I don't go for that power-crazy way
Amaj7                G#m
All that I could rule but I don't check for fools
F#m7                     G#m
All that I need is to be left to live my way
Amaj7
(Say listen what I say)


F#                                     Bmaj7
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened
F#          Bmaj7
to me or my world
F#                              Bmaj7        Emaj7      Bmaj7                   
You're the best thing that ever happened, so don't go away

[Bridge]
Amaj7
For the soul of me
G#m
You're the best for me
F#m7
Come on rob my dreams
G#m
But take this chance for me

Amaj7 G#m F#m7 G#m

[Chorus]

F#                                     Bmaj7
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened
F#          Bmaj7
to me or my world
F#                              Bmaj7        Emaj7      Bmaj7                   
You're the best thing that ever happened, so don't go away

Bmaj7
Hey hey hey hey hey

F#                                     Bmaj7
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened
F#          Bmaj7
to me or my world
F#                              Bmaj7        Emaj7                   
You're the best thing that ever happened, so don't go

[Outro]
       Emaj7
I said don't go
       Emaj7          Bmaj7
