   Some people live for the fortune,  some people live just for the fame
|Gmaj7                 |G#dim7         |Am7                                |D7   |
   Some people live for the power, yeah,  some people live just to play the game

|Gmaj7       Am7           |Bm7      Am7   |
 Some people think that the physical things
 |Gmaj7   Am7       |Bm7  -  -  Cmaj7   Bm7     Am7   |
Define    what's within,                and I’ve
|Gmaj7        Am7      |Bm7           Am7   |Gmaj7          Am7   |Bm7   |
 been there before, and that life's a bore,  so full of the superficial

           |Cmaj7                        |Bm7           |
Some people want it all, but I don't want nothing at all
           |Am7                     |Gmaj7  -  -   -    Am7       6nBm7   |
If it ain't you baby, if I ain't got you    ba-by, some people want
|Cmaj7                        |Bm7  -    -     -    -     Bbm7  |
 diamond rings, some just want everything, but everything means
|Am7                    |Gmaj7   |
 nothing, if I ain't got you

|Gmaj7               |Em7           |Am7               |D7   |
   Some people search for a fountain,  promises forever young
|Gmaj7                         |G#dim7  |Am7                                   |D7       |
   Some people need three dozen roses,     and that's the only way to prove you love them

|Gmaj7       Am7       |Bm7        Am7   |
 Hand me the world on a silver platter
   |Gmaj7     Am7     |Bm7  -  -  Cmaj7   Bm7   Am7   |
And what good would it be
    |Gmaj7     Am7        |Bm7        Am7   |Gmaj7   Am7   |Bm7   |
With no one to share, with no one who truly  cares   for    me

           |Cmaj7                        |Bm7           |
Some people want it all, but I don't want nothing at all
           |Am7                     |Gmaj7  -  -   -    Am7       6nBm7   |
If it ain't you baby, if I ain't got you    ba-by, some people want
|Cmaj7                        |Bm7  -    -     -    -     Bbm7  |
 diamond rings, some just want everything, but everything means
|Am7                    |Gmaj7   |
 nothing, if I ain't got you

           |Cmaj7                        |Bm7           |
Some people want it all, but I don't want nothing at all
           |Am7                     |Gmaj7  -  -   -    Am7    Bm7   |
If it ain't you baby, if I ain't got you    ba-by, some people want
|Cmaj7                        |Bm7  -    -     -    -     Bbm7  |
 diamond rings, some just want everything, but everything means
|Am7                    |Gmaj7    |
 nothing, if I ain't got you, yeah

|Cmaj7   |Bm7                          |Am7   |Gmaj7   -  -      -          Am7   Bm7   |
            If I ain't got you with me, baby,               said nothing in this
|Cmaj7                        |Bm7   -  -    -       -       Bbm7   |Am7   |Gmaj7   |
 whole wide world don't mean a thing,     if I ain't got you with me,  baby
