Verse:
[Eb]Bernadette
[C#add9] People are searching for
[B] The kind of love that[Bb] we possess[C#]
[Eb]Some go on
[C#add9] Searching their whole life through
B Abm /A Bb (N.C.)
And never find the love I found in you
Chorus 1:
[F#/C#]And when I speak of [Ebm]you
I[Abm7] see envy in other[Abm7/C#] men's e[Abm/C#]yes
[F#/C#]And I'm [Ebm]well aware
Of what's[Abm7] on their mind[Abm7/C#][Abm/C#]
[Abm7]They pretend to[F#/Bb] be my friend
When[C#sus4] all the time (sweet B[C#]ernadette)
[Abm7]They long[F#/Bb] to persuade you[C#sus4] from my side (sweet B[C#]ernadette)
They'd [Abm7]give the world and [Bbm]all they own
For[C#sus4] just one moment [C#]we have known
Verse 2:
Bernadette
They want you because
Of the pride that it gives
But Bernadette
I want you because
I need you to live
Chorus 2:
But while I live only to hold you
Some other men, they long to control you
But how can they control you, Bernadette (sweet Bernadette)
When they cannot control themselves, Bernadette (sweet Bernadette)
From wanting you, needing you
But darling
Verse 3:
You belong to me
I tell the world
You belong to me, I tell the world
You're the soul of me
I tell the world
You're a part of me, Bernadette
Bridge:
[F#]In your arms I[Cbmaj7] find the kind of peace of [Ebm]mind
The world is searching [Bb]for[Cbdim]
But [F#]you, you give me the[Cbmaj7] joy this heart of mine has [Ebm]always
Been longing [Bb]for
Chorus 3:
In you I have what other men are longing for
All men need someone to worship and adore
That's why I treasure you and place you high above
For the only joy in life is to be loved
So whatever you do, Bernadette
Verse 3 (partial):
Keep on l[Eb]ovin' me
[C#add9]Bernadette
Keep on n[B]eedin' me,[Abm] [/A] [Bb]Bernadette
(Bb) (N.C.)
[/] [/] [/] [/] [/] [/] [/] [/] [/] [/] B[/]er[/]nadette!
Verse 4:
Bernadette
You're the soul of me
More than a dream, you're clear to me
And Bernadette
You mean more to me
Than a woman was ever meant to be
