(VI)
G                               C
Sometimes I wonder how I'd ever make it through,
                           Am                          D
Through this world without having you, I just wouldn't have a clue
G                                                   C
'Cause sometimes it seems like this world's closing in on me,
                      Am                                D
And there's no way of breaking free, and then I see you reach for me
C                 G                Am               D
Sometimes I wanna give up, I wanna give in, I wanna quit the fight
C                   Am        D                     D7
And then I see you, baby, and everything's alright, everything's alright


(chorus)
G      D       C                     G         D            C                 D
When I see you smile, I can face the world, oh oh, you know I can do anything
G      D       C                     G         D            C
When I see you smile, I see a ray of light, oh oh, I see it shining right 

through the rain
       Am                D                         G
When I see you smile, oh yeah, baby when I see you smile at me

(VII)
G                                             C
Baby there's nothing in this world that could ever do
                     Am                                    D
What a touch of your hand can do, it's like nothing that I ever knew
C                    G                Am                     D
And when the rain is falling, I don't feel it, 'cause you're here with me now
C                   Am       D                          D7
And one look at you baby, is all I'll ever need, you're all I'll ever need

(chorus)

C                 G                Am               D
Sometimes I wanna give up, I wanna give in, I wanna quit the fight
C                  Am        D                    D7  
And then I see you baby, and everythings alright, everything's alright
G
So right...

When I see you smile, I can face the world, oh oh, you know I can do anything
A      E       D                     A         E            D

When I see you smile, oh yeah, baby when I see you smile,  smile at me
