Intro
there are two guitars on the record, but when I saw the Raspberries

Intro riff 1 [4X]:

The easy way: Raspberries biographer Ken Sharp,
who learned it from Wally Bryson):

Verse 1
I never knew how complete life could be
/ -5
Til' she kissed me and said, baby
Chorus
Please (baby) go all the way
It feels so right (feels so right)
Being with you here tonight
Please (baby) go all the way
Just hold me close (hold me close)
[1: 2, 3: ]
Don't ever let me go
(don't let me go)
Verse 2
I couldn't say what I wanted to say
'Til she whispered, "I love you" so
[repeat chorus]
[repeat intro riff #1 (2X)]
Bridge
[ variants as per Riff 2]
Before her love I was cruel and mean
I had a hole in the place where my heart should've been
Now I'm changed and it feels so strange
I come alive when she says all those things to me
And she says
(Come on) come on
(Come on) come on
I need you (come on)
I love you (come on)
I need you (come on)
[repeat chorus]
