C              Am       D11      G
  How sweet it is to be loved by you
C              Am       D11      G     C
  How sweet it is to be loved by you


[Verse 1]

G                         Em
  I needed the shelter of someone's arms
D                C
  and there you were
G                          Em
  I needed someone to understand my ups and downs
D                C
  and there you were
G                       C
  With sweet love and devotion
Em                     C
   deeply touching my emotion
          G                  C
I want to stop and thank you baby
          G    N.C.          G
I want to stop and thank you baby, yes I do


[Chorus]

C              Am       D11      G
  How sweet it is to be loved by you
C              Am       D11      G     C
  How sweet it is to be loved by you


[Verse 2]

G                     Em
  I close my eyes at night,
D                                  C
wondering where would I be without you in my life
G                      Em
  Everything I did was just a bore,
D                              C
everywhere I went it seems I'd been there before
    G                         C
But you brightened up for me all of my days
Em                         C
   With a love so sweet in so many ways
          G                  C
I want to stop and thank you baby
               G    N.C.          G
I just want to stop and thank you baby


[Chorus]

C              Am       D11      G
  How sweet it is to be loved by you, just like sugar sometimes
C              Am       D11      G     C
  How sweet it is to be loved by you


[Instrumental]

G    Em    D    C

G    Em    D    C


[Bridge]

G                             C
 You were better to me than I was to myself
    Em                              C
For me, there's you and there ain't nobody else
          G                  C
I want to stop and thank you baby
               G    N.C.          G
I just want to stop and thank you baby, oh yes


[Chorus]

C              Am       D11      G
  How sweet it is to be loved by you
C              Am       D11      G
  How sweet it is to be loved by you, oh now
C              Am       D11      G
  How sweet it is to be loved by you, it's like jelly, baby
C              Am       D11      G
  How sweet it is to be loved by you, just like honey to the bee, baby

C               Am       D11      G
  (How sweet it is to be loved by you)
C               Am       D11      G
  (How sweet it is to be loved by you)
