Exactly Like You
Words & Music by Dorothy Fields & Jimmy McHugh
Recorded by Ruth Etting, 1930 (#11)
Intro Verse:
I used to have a per - fect sweet - heart --
Em7 A7 A7+5 D Cim
Not a real one, just a dream;
A won - der - ful vis - ion of us as a team.
Can you im - ag - ine how I feel now?
Love is real now, it's i - deal;
You're just what I wan - ted,
And now it's nice to live, par - a - dise to live.
Melody:
I know why I've waited, know why I've been blue;
A7 G A Em7 A7 D Em7 Fdim D A7Sus4
Prayed each night for some - one ex - act - ly like you.
Why should we spend mon - ey on a show or two?
No one does those love scenes ex - act - ly like you.
Bridge:
You make me feel so grand,
I want to hand the world to you;
You seem to understand
Each foolish little scheme I'm schem - ing,
Dream I'm dream - ing.
Now I know why moth - er taught me to be true --
She meant me for someone ex -act - ly like you.
