   D9                 Em7            C9     Em7  A7 
Cherish is the word I use to describe 
          D9                        Em7        C9   Em7    A7 
All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside 
                     F#m7                                    G 
You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you 
                    F#m7                                      G 
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you 
               F#m7 
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could 
G        F#m7  Em7              G             G/F#    G/B     A4/7      A7 A 
Mold you into someone who could cherish me as much as I cherish you 
   D9                 Em7              C9      Em7  A7 
Perish is the word that more than applies  
          D9                Em7      C9   Em7  A7 
To the hope in my heart each time I realize 
                 F#m7                                 G 
That I am not gonna be the one to share your dreams 
               F#m7 
That I am not gonna be the one to share your schemes 
                F#m7                                  G 
That I am not gonna be the one to share what 
               F#m7 
Seems to be the life that you could cherish as much as I do yours 
       Em7                     A                                             
Oh I'm beginning to think that man has never found 
     F#m7                           C# 
The words that could make you want me 
                A                       D                Bm                           
That have the right amount of letters, just the right sound 
                G   G/F# Em7   G   G/F# Em 
That could make you hear, make you see 
              C         C/B        A                        
That you are drivin' me out of my mind 
                   D9                       A 
Oh I could say I need you  but then you'd realize 
       Am                    B9                                         
That I want you  just like a thousand other guys 
                 G                       A 
Who'd say they loved you  with all the rest of their lies 
             Bm                                                                           
When all they wanted was to touch your face, your hands 
     C              A         B7 
And gaze into your eyes 
E                     F#m7            D9   F#m7  B7 
Cherish is the word I use to describe 
         E                         F#m7               D9   F#m7 B7 
All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside 
               G#m                                    A 
You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you 
               G#m                                      A 
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you 
              G#m 
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could 
A       G#m7   F#m7               D                  F#7         B7 
Mold you into someone who could cherish me as much as I cherish you 
 A  E B7  E   A  B7    E  A B7  E  A   B7                    G7M   G6 
And I do cherish you, and I do cherish you cherish is the word
