Key: C

5  6   6   6  6   6
Ba-by when I met you 
  6    6    -6  6    5
there was peace un-known
5  6   6   6  6   6    6  6  -6    7     8
I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb
-9 8   -6  7    7
I was soft in-side
  -8   7    7    -6  7  -6  7-66
There was some-thing go-ing on

 5  6    6    6   6  6
You do some-thing to me 
  6  6  -6   6   5
that I can't ex-plain
  5  6    6  6   6  6  -6  7   8
Hold me clos-er and I feel no pain
8   7   -6  7  -8   7
Ev-‘ry beat of my heart
-8  7    7    -6  7  -6  7-66
We got some-thing go-ing on

-6  -6    7  -8   8
Ten-der love is blind, 
8  -9   8   -8 -8 -8  7  -8
it re-quires a ded-i-ca-tion
 8   -9    8  -8  7
All this love we feel 
  8   -8 -8   7  7   7
needs no con-ver-sa-tion
6   7   -6  5   6  -6  -87-66
We ride it to-geth-er, ah-ha
 6  -6  7    -6   6   -6  7   -87-66
Mak-in love with each oth-er, ah-ha

8   -8   -8  7    7
Is-lands in the stream
  8  -8  -8  7   7
That is what we are
-9  8  8  -8  -8
No one in be-tween
-9   8  8  -8   -8
How can we be wrong
  8 -8 -8   7   7  
Sail a-way with me
8  -8 -8  7    7
To an-oth-er world
-6  7  -8 8  -8  7   -6  7   -87-66
And we re-ly on each oth-er, ah-ha
  8   8   8  -8 -8  7  7  -6  -87-66
From one lov-er to an-oth-er, ah-ha

5   6     6   6    6   6
I can't live with-out you 
6   6   -6   6    5
if the love was gone
5   6    6   6    6   6
Ev-‘ry-thing is noth-ing 
6   6  -6  7   8
if you got no one
 8  -9   8   -6  7   7    7
And you did walk in the night
 -8  7   7  -6    7   -6  7   7   -6 6
Slow-ly los-ing sight of the real thing

 5    5    6    6   6  6  6
But that won't hap-pen to us 
 6  6  -6  6    5
and we got no doubt
5    5  6    6   6  6   6  -6  7   8
So deep in love and we got no way out
 8   7  -6   7   -8   7
And the mes-sage is clear
 -8    7   7  -6    7  -6   7   7   -6 6
This could be the year for the real thing

-6  -6   7   -8   8
No more will you cry, 
8  -9 8  -8   -8  -8   7  -8
Ba-by I will hurt you nev-er
8    8   8-9  8  -8  7
We start and end as one, 
8   -8  -8  7  7
in love for-ev-er
7   6    7  -6 5    6  -6  -87-66
We can ride it to-geth-er, ah-ha
 6  -6    7   -6    6  -6  7   -87-66
Mak-ing love with each oth-er, ah-ha

8   -8   -8  7    7
Is-lands in the stream
  8  -8  -8  7   7
That is what we are
-9  8  8  -8  -8
No one in be-tween
-9   8  8  -8   -8
How can we be wrong
  8 -8 -8   7   7  
Sail a-way with me
8  -8 -8  7    7
To an-oth-er world
-6  7  -8 8  -8  7   -6  7   -87-66
And we re-ly on each oth-er, ah-ha
  8   8   8  -8 -8  7  7  -6  -87-66
From one lov-er to an-oth-er, ah-ha

8   -8   -8  7    7
Is-lands in the stream
  8  -8  -8  7   7
That is what we are

No one in be-tween

How can we be wrong

Sail a-way with me

To an-oth-er world

From one lov-er to an-oth-er, ah-ha
