        Fmaj9      Ebmaj9
        Bum - bum - bum - bum


Verse 1:

        Fmaj9                Gm7/C [xx5766]   Ebmaj9   Gm7/C
        Cherish is the word I use to describe
                Fmaj9                      Gm7/C              Ebmaj9 Gm7/C
        All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside
                       Am7                                    Bb
        You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you
                       Am7                                      Bb
        You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you
                       Am7
        You don't know how many times I've wished that I could
        Bb       Am7  Gm7
        Mold you into someone who could
        Bb                               C   [hammer-on: xx555x->xx756x]
        Cherish me as much as I cherish you

Verse 2:

        Perish is the word that more than applies
        To the hope in my heart each time I realize
        That I am not gonna be the one to share your dreams
        That I am not gonna be the one to share your schemes
        That I am not gonna be the one to share what
        Seems to be the life that you could
        Cherish as much as I do yours

Bridge:

                 Gm7                    C
        Oh I'm beginning to think that man has never found
             Am7                           E
        The words that could make you want me
                       C                        F             Dm/C
        That have the right amount of letters, just the right sound
                   Bb             Gm7
        That could make you hear, make you see
                      Eb                   C
        That you are drivin' me out of my mind

                         Fmaj9                     C
        Oh I could say I need you  but then you'd realize
               Cm                     D9
        That I want you  just like a thousand other guys
                        Bb                       C
        Who'd say they loved you   With all the rest of their lies
                       Dm            /Bb        /A         /G
        When all they wanted was to touch your face, your hands
                            Eb   C    D7
        And gaze into your eyes
