Verse 1
Oh (C major) (D major)
(C major) Shirley, (F major) I (C major) love you.
(G major) You must believe I (C major) do.
Cause
(F major) Shirley, I (C major) need to (A minor) have and
(F major) hold the (G major) both of (C major) you.
Well, I'm writing this from
the hotel downtown. (F major)
I'm sure you remember the place. (C major)
You see, I came back into town to
see our new baby (G major) today,
and you slammed the door in my face. (C major)
Now,
Shirley, I know that you've got (F major) every right
to despise every breath that I take, (C major)
but I'm praying there's still
enough love in your (D major) heart
to forgive me that one big (G major) mistake.
Because surely, (E minor) surely (F major) I (C major) love you,
you (G major) must believe I (C major) do,
be (F major) cause surely I (C major) need to (A minor) have
and (F major) hold the (G major) both of (C major) you.
You know I have to admit that
when I first heard the news
(F major) that my first thought was I had to run.
(C major) You see,
Shirley, I was too far along
(G major) on my way to success
to be chained to a wife (C major) an d a son.
So I kept (F major) my name,
and you had the blame.
(C major) And you bore it with head held high.
But (D major) I guess now,
all the while that you were wearing the (G major) smile,
you wanted to break down and (E minor) cry. (F major)
(C major) Shirley, I love you.
(G major) You must believe I (C major) do
(F major) Cause surely I (C major) need to (A minor) have and (F major) hold
The (G major) both of (C major) you
I just jumped on that train an
(A minor) d it took me away
(F major) And
I, well I thought I'd left trouble behind
(C major) But I found out in a while
With (G major) each passing mile,
what I really had left was (C major) my mind
So I'm back (A minor) here to stay,
wheth (F major) er you'll have me or not
It's all up to you,
Shirley, in (C major) your heart
All the heartaches you've had,
everything (D major) that's gone bad
I'll have to live with (G major) if we stay apart
Cause (E minor) (F major) surely I (C major) love you,
you (G major) must believe I (C major) do
Cause (F major) surely I (C major) need to (A minor) have and
(F major) hold the (G major) both of (C major) you
Oh, (F major)
Shirley, I (C major) need to (A minor) have and
(F major) hold the (G major) both of (C major) you
