[Verse]
           G
If I could find a love to treasure,
          C                    G
With this heart and with these hands.
        D
I could build a strong foundation
     C                 G
In a world of shifting sands.

If I could show just what I'm made of,
            C                 G
You'd be surprised what I can do.
      D
But I need someone to help me,
C          G
 Let it be you.

         G
'Cause I aim to find somebody
    C           G
Who really understands,
    D
The things that make a difference
          C           G
Between a woman and a man.

Yeah, but all my best intentions
     C            G
Will never see me through,
     D
If I don't find what I'm missin'.
C          G
 Let it be you.

          G        C               G
Let it be you, who wakes me in the mornin',
          D             C                 G
Let it be you, who lays down with me each night.
              C              G
Side by side, we can dream together.
            D               C  G
Let it come true, let it be you.

          G
There are lessons in this life
        C              G
I can't learn all by myself,
        D
There's beauty I can only see
            C               G
Through the eyes of someone else.

There's a place I've always heard of
     C                G
Only love can take me to,
      D
But I need someone beside me.
C          G
 Let it be you.

          G        C               G
Let it be you, who wakes me in the mornin',
          D             C                 G
Let it be you, who lays down with me each night.
              C              G
Side by side, we can dream together.
            D               C  G
Let it come true, let it be you.
            D               C  G
Let it come true, let it be you.
