  E    A                                   E  
Well, you give me all your lovin' and your turtle dovin',  
A                                E  
All your hugs and kisses and your money too,  
      A                         E  
Well, you know you love me baby, until you tell me, maybe,  
F#7                B7  
That some day, well, I'll be through, well..  

 
A                                               E  
That'll be the day, when you say good-bye, yes, that'll be the day, when you  
                    A                                                  E  
make me cry. Oh you say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie 'cause  
that'll  
E          B7     E  
be the day when I die!  

When Cupid shot his dart he shot it at your heart  
So if we ever part and I leave you  
You kiss and hold me and you tell me boldly, baby  
That someday well, I'll be through
