D             C     Em         G
So tired of broken hearts and losing at this game
   A       D  
Before I start this dance
   G                Bm
I take a chance in telling you
I want more than just romance

D           C    Em
You are my destiny
   G                             A
I can't let go, baby, can't you see?
 D             G                D   Em A
Cupid, please take your aim at me

Chorus:
  D       D   G
Cherish the thought of always
            Em      G  A
having you here by my side
            Bm      D   G
Oh baby, I cherish the joy
                  D     G   D   A
You keep bringing it into my life
(I'm always singing it)
  D       D   G
Cherish the strength
                      Em      G    A
You got the power to make me feel good
(and baby I)
 Bm      D   G                       D   G  A
Perish the thought of ever leaving, I never would

I was never satisfied with casual encounters
I can't hide my need
For two hearts that bleed
With burning love
That's the way it's got to be
Romeo and Juliet, they never felt this way I bet
So don't underestimate my point of view

Chorus

 D   F#m7  Gsus4 G
        Who?
      Bm                     A
You! Can't get away I won't let you
 D   F#m7  Gsus4 G    Bm                A
        Who?     You! I could never forget to
 D                    G
Cherish is the word I use to remind me of

      D
Your love
        C     Em
You're givin' it
        G
You're givin' it to me boy
      A         D                G
Keep giving me all-all-all your joy
         Bm
Give me faith
I will always cherish you
D          C Em         G                    A
Romeo and Juliet, they never felt this way I bet
           D       G                D   Em A
So don't underestimate my point of view
