[verse: 1]
        Em
Imagine me and you, I do
                   D
I think about you day and night, it's only right
                    C
To think about the girl you love and hold her tight
           B
So happy together

[verse: 2]
             Em
If I should call you up, invest a dime
                  D    
And you say you belong to me and ease my mind
                 C
Imagine how the world could be, so very fine
            B
So happy together

[chorus:]
E               Bm7               E
I can't see me lovin' nobody but you
            G
For all my life
E                    Bm7                     E
When you're with me, baby the skies will be blue
            G
For all my life

[verse: 3]
Em
Me and you and you and me
                    D
No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be
                 C
The only one for me is you and you for me
           B
So happy together

[verse: 5]  {vocals harmonize on first three lines}
Em
Me and you and you and me
                    D
No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be
                 C
The only one for me is you and you for me
           B
So happy together

We're happy together
            B        Em
So happy together
            B        Em  {horns come in}
Happy together
            B        Em
So happy together
            B                            E {finish}
