G                        
Some people live for the fortune
Am7                           Bm7  Bm7-Am7-G
Some people live just for the fame
G                        Am7

Bm7                                 D
Some people live just to play the game

Bridge
Gmaj7       Am7            Bm7      Am7
Some people think that the physical things
  Gmaj7  Am7     Bm7   Cmaj7(Em/C)-Bm7-Am7-Gmaj7
Define what's within
Gmaj7             Am7
I've been there before
     Bm7          Am7
But that life's a bore
   Gmaj7       Am7     Bm7
So full of the superficial

Chorus
            Cmaj7
Some people want it all
                 Bm7
But I don't want nothing at all
            Am7
If it ain't you baby
              Gmaj7
If I ain't got you baby
                 Cmaj7
Some people want diamond rings
               Bm7
Some just want everything
                     Am7 
But everything means nothing 
               Gmaj7
If I ain't got you, yea

Verse 2:
Some people search for a fountain
That promises forever young
Some people need three dozen roses
And that's the only way to prove you love them

Bridge
Hand me the world on a silver plater
And what good would it be  
No one to share
No one who truly cares for me

Chorus

Outro: ( is same as Intro)

If I aint got you with me baby, no
Oooh...
Said nothin in this whole wide world dont mean a thing,
If I ain't got you with me, babbbayyyy...(adlibbed)
