Youre All I Need

"You're All I Need To Get By"

(Nickolas Ashford - Valerie Simpson)

Verse 1:

[background vocal continues through next four lines]

(You're all I need to get by ahhh-ahhh)

[Marvin] Like sweet morning dew I took one look at you

And it was plain to see you were my destiny

[Tammi] With arms open wide I threw away my pride

I'll sacrifice for you dedicate my life to you

A /C# /E Bm A

[T] I will go where you lead, always there in time of need

B /D# Dm6/F /D

[M] And when I lose my will you'll be there to push me up the hill

Chorus 1:

[M+T] There's no, no looking back for us

We got love sure 'nough, that's enough

A/E Dm6/F [N.C.] A

You're all, you're all I need to get by

Verse 2:

(You're all I need to get by ahhh-ahhh)

[M] Like an eagle protects his nest, for you I'll do my best

Stand by you like a tree, dare anybody to try and move me

[T] Darling in you I found strength where I was torn down

Don't know what's in store but together we can open any door

[T] Just to do what's good for you and inspire you a little higher

[M] I know you can make a man out of a soul that didn't have a goal

Chorus 2:

[M+T] Cause we, we got the right foundation

And with love and determination

You're - all, you're all I want to strive for and do a little more

You're - all the joys under the sun wrapped up into one

A/E Dm6/F [N.C.]

You're all, you're all I need

A/E Dm6/F [N.C.]

You're all I need

B7/F# /B Bm7/E [N.C.] A

You're all I need [M: oh] to get by

Coda: [repeat w/vocal improvisations to fade]
