[G] [C] [G] [C] [G]You’ve been around for such a [C]long time now, Or maybe [Am]I could leave you, but I [D]don’t know how. [G]And why should I be [C]lonely every night, When I can [Am]be with you; oh yes, you [D]make it right.

And I [C]don’t, listen to the [D]guys who say, That you’re [G]bad for me, and I should [C]turn away. ‘Cos, [G]they don’t [Am]know about [Bm]us, [D] And [C]they’ve never [F]heard of [G]love.

[G]I get a feeling, when I [C]look at you; Wherever [Am]you go now, I wanna [D]be there too. [G]They say we’re crazy, but I [C]just don’t care, And if they [Am]keep on talking, still they [D]get nowhere.

So I [C]don’t, mind if they don’t [D]understand When I [G]look at you and you [C]and you hold my hand ‘Cos, [G]they don’t [Am]know about [Bm]us, [D] And [C]they’ve never [F]heard of [G]love.

[Em]Why should it [F]matter to us, If [C]they don’t ap[D]prove? [Em]We should just [F]take our chances, While [C]we’ve got nothing to [D]lose.

Baby, [G]There’s no need for living [C]in the past, Now I [Am]found good loving; gonna [D]make it last. [G]I tell the others not to [C]bother me, ‘Cos when they [Am]look at you, they don’t see [D]what I see.

No I [C]don’t listen to their [D]wasted lines Got my [G]eyes wide open and I [C]see the signs But [G]they don’t [Am]know about [Bm]us, [D] And [C]they’ve never [F]heard of [G]love.
