INTRO: F

#1.
F                     C      F  Eb     Bb 
Cherish is the word I use to describe, all the 
F                                         Eb
feeling that I have hiding here for you inside.
Bb             Am
You don't know how many times I wished that I 
    Bb
had told you.


CHORUS:
               Am
You don't know how many times I wished that I 
      Bb
could hold you.
               Am
You don't know how many times I've wished that 
                       Gm7               Bb
I could mould you into someone who could cherish 
                        C
me as much as I cherish you.


#2.
F                                 Eb      C
Perish is the word that more than applies....to the 
F                                Eb
hope in my heart each time I realize.


CHORUS:
Bb        Am
That I am not going to be the one to share your 
Bb
dreams.
          Am
That I am not going to be the one to share your 
Bb
schemes.
          Am
That I am not going to be the one to share what 
                Gm7                 Bb
seems to be the life that you could cherish me as 
             C
much as I do yours.


BRIDGE:
          G                     C
Oh, I'm beginning to think that man has never found
    Am                             E
the words that could make you want me.
              C                        F
That have the right amount of letters, just the right 
Dm               Bb             Gm7
sound that could make you hear, make you see, that you
    Eb                   C
are driving me out of my mind.


#3.
C                 F                        C
Oh, I could say I need you, but then you'd realize that 
                        Dm
I want you, just like a thousand other guys, who say 
       Bb                    C
they'd love you with all the rest of their lives..
              Dm            Bb                    Gm7
when all they wanted was to touch your face, your hands,
                   Eb   C
and gaze into your eyes.


#4.
F                               Eb    C
Cherish is the word I use to describe....all the 
F                                         Eb   C
feeling that I have hiding here for you inside.


CHORUS:
               Am
You don't know how many times I wished that I 
    Bb
had told you.
               Am
You don't know how many times I've wished that 
        Bb            
I could hold you.
               Am
You don't know how many times I wished that I could mould 
         Gm7               Eb
you into someone who could cherish me as much as I 
        C
cherish you.
