D        Bm6    Gmaj7           Bm     D7 Gmaj7
Don't go changing, to try and please me
          Gm             D    Am7   D7 Gmaj7
You never let me down before  Mmmm Mmmm
        Gm   D             Bm
Don't imagine you're too familiar
E           E7          A  A7 D
And I don't see you anymore

Chorus:
D           Bm6     Gmaj7             Bm   D7 Gmaj7
I would not leave you   in times of trouble
          Gm                   D   Am7 D7  Gmaj7
We never could have come this far Mmmm Mmmm
           Gm          D             Bm
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
Em7           A7sus4            D
I'll take you just the way you are

Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair, mm
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care

Chorus:
I don't want clever conversation
Never want to work that hard, mm
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are

G           A                F#m7   B7
I need to know that you will always be
Em            A               D D7 Am
The same old someone that I knew
A#            C             Am         D7
What will it take till you believe in me
Gm          C              A7sus4 A
The way that I believe in you.

I said, “I love you,” that's forever
And this, I promise from the heart, mm
I couldn't love you any better
I love you just the way you are

Chorus:
I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard, mm
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are, oh oh
