Intro: [A ////] [Bm //] [E //] (x2)
Verse 1:
[A] Half of your [Amaj7] love is just [Dmaj7] not what I'm [Amaj7] after.
[D] Part of your [A/Db] world is just - [Bm7addA] not what I [Esus4 - E] need
[D] Some of your [Dbm7/Ab] time is like [Dmaj7] one glass of [Amaj7] water;
[D] Just leaves me [A/Db] thirsty for [Bm7/F#] wine. [Esus4 - E]
Chorus:
So [D] fill [E] me [A] up [E/Ab] to the [F#m] top.
Oh, [E] don't you [Bm7] stop till I'm [E7] over-flowing.
[A] Love [E/Ab] is the [F#m] seed [E] and [Bm7] babe,
I need you to [Db7] keep it growing.
[F#m] Stronger [Dbm7/Ab] every [B7] day, oh, [Bm7/F#] no.
[E] Don't take me half the [A] way. (Don't take me half the [Bm7/F#] way)
Don't take me [E] half the [A] way. (Don't take me half the [Bm7/F#] way) [E]
Verse 2:
[A] Never be-[Amaj7]-fore have I [Dmaj7] settled for [Amaj7] second.
[D] All of my [A/Db] life, I have [Bm7addA] hungered for [Esus4 - E] more.
[D] Now I can see [Dbm7/Ab] where your [Dmaj7] sweet love can [Amaj7] lead me.
[D] This is what I've [A/Db] waited [Bm7/F#] for. [Esus4 - E]

[Eb] Part of your [Bb/D] world is just - [Cm7addBb] not what I [FaddBb - F] need.
[Eb] Now I can [Dm7/A] see where your [Ebmaj7] sweet love can [Bbmaj7] lead me.
[Eb] This is [Bb/D] what I've waited [Cm7/G] for. [Fsus4-F]

Oh, [F] don't you [Cm7] stop till I'm [F7] over-flowing.
[Bb] Love [F/A] is the [Gm] seed [F] and [Cm7] babe,
I need you to [D7] keep it growing.
