          G#m9                     C#11
There's a lot of things I want, a lot of things 
                 F#maj9
that I'd like to be.
                  G#m9                     C#11
But girl, I don't forsee a rags-to-riches story 
F#maj9
for me.
B11                
There's just one little dream I've got to make come true.
C#11                                       D#m7  A#m7
There's just one round I've gotta win..I can't be a 
  G#m7       G#m7 C#7
loser with yoooou.

CHORUS:
 G#m7 C#7     F#maj9
Baby, baby, once in my life, let me get what I want.
            G#m7      C#11         F#maj9        
Girl, don't let me doooown..just once in my life, 
       G#m7                  C#11       F#maj9
let me hold on to one good thing I found.
      G#m7           C#7    G#m7               C#7
Don't let me down, baby, say that you'll be stayin'.

#2.
        G#m7                          C#11
Cause I couldn't face a day if you weren't here by my 
F#maj9
side.
       G#m7                  C#11              F#maj9
If you went away then I'd be left without any pride.
B11
I've given up on schemes, cause every one fell through.
C#11                             D#m7  A#m7      G#m7
I've given up so many things, don't ask me to give up 
   G#m7 C#7
on you.

CHORUS:
 G#m7 C#7     F#maj9
Baby, baby, once in my life, let me get what I want.
            G#m7      C#11         F#maj9        
Girl, don't let me doooown..just once in my life, 
       G#m7                  C#11       F#maj9
let me hold on to one good thing I found.
      G#m7           C#7    G#m7               C#7
Don't let me down, baby, say that you'll be stayin'.
#3.
     F#maj9                        G#m7    C#11
That old pot of gold ain't so easy to find.
     F#maj9                        G#m7    C#11
But if you'll stand by me, I'll keep peace of mind.
     F#maj9                        G#m7    C#11
I can't give you the world, but I'll walk with 
     F#maj9                        G#m7    C#11
you, girl..I'll work hard, everyday, all my life.
      F#maj9                        G#m7    C#11
So, baby, please don't leave me, just do this for me.

CHORUS:

Don't let me down, baby, say that you'll be stayin'.
