Cadd9 Fmaj7 Dm9 F/G Am7
...nothing you can do to turn me away, nothing anyone can say,
F#m7 B7 Em7
You're with me now, and, as long as you stay,
A7sus4 Dmaj7
Loving you's the right thing to do---------,
(Loving you's the right thing!)
Dm7 Fmaj7 Dm7/G
Loving you's the right thing!

Cadd9 Fmaj7
Oh, oh - oh, oh, I know you've had some bad luck with ladies before,
Dm9 F/G Am7
They drove you, or you drove them, crazy,
F#m7 B7 Em7
But, more im - portant is I know you're the one,
A7sus4 Dmaj7
And I'm sure...loving you's the right thing to do----------,
(Loving you's the right thing!)
Dm7 Fmaj7 Dm7/G
Loving you's the right thing!

Dm7 Dm7 G/C G/C
Oh, hoh - hoh, and it used to be, for a while-----,
^ ^ ^ ^
Am9 Gm7 C
That the river flowed right to my door,
Dm7 Dm7 G/C G/C
Making me... just a little too free,
^ ^ ^ ^
Am9 Gm7 C7 F
But now the river doesn't seem to stop here any - more!
