This riff is simplified just for 
additional guitar accompaniment,
the actual bass develops into a 
walking bass line from the 3rd
verse onwards.
The C6 in brackets are optional and 
are added by the keyboards,
as are the Cadd9 near the end too.

[Intro]
A      E7    A                  
Oh, my baby, baby, I love you 
              E
more than I can tell,
  A                 A7          D
I don't think I can live with - 
         D/A
out you,
      A           E     A       E7
And I know that I never will,
A      E7    A                  
Oh, my baby, baby, I want you 
                E
so, it scares me ...to death,
  A               A7           D 
I can't say any - more than 'I 
          D/A
love you!',
           A         G        F#m
Everything else is a waste of
