Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

I could take my guitar and hit the road

try to be a star

That sort of thing just don't appeal to me

I could play some one night stands

Travelin' light a one man band

But I know this is where I'de rather be

It's your bright sunshine that lifted all the shadows off my

mind

Yeah your sweet love led me to a brighter day

So you never have to worry bout me leaving you behind

Wait and see I won't ever turn away

(chorus)

Cause you made my dream come true

And gave my life new meaning too and more than anything

I'de rather be with you

Well I'de rather be with you babe if I could

I'de rather be with you

You know I'de rather be with you babe surely would

You know I'de rather be with you

Verse 2

Now this ghetto life is hard in our concrete front yard

Nothing grows except a single tree to mark our place

But the moment that I'm with you girl your light and love

Shine through and then I realize you're my saving grace

I could catch that old greyhound head up north and bum

around

Watch the sun set on the San Francisco Bay

But you mean so much to me I could never put you down

That would be to big a price for me to pay

(chorus)

Cause you made my dream come true and gave my life new

meaning too

And more than anything I'de rather be with you

I'de rather be with you babe if I could

I'de rather be with you

I'de rather be with you babe surely would

I'de rather be with you

(closing refrain, slow)

I'de rather be with you

I'de rather be with you

I got tired of not ever seeing any of this great, and practically unknown,

artist's songs on any tab and chord sites. It's my first time posting songs.

Hope it's helpful. Comments, corrections, suggestions, welcome.

All my own work.
