2  3   3   3  3   3
Ba-by when I met you 
  3    3    -3  3    2 
there was peace un-known
2  3   3  3   3   3    3  3  -3    4    6
I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb
-6 6   -3   4   4
I was soft in-side
  -5   4    4    -3   4 -3  4-33  
There was some-thing go-ing on

 2  3    3    3   3   3
You do some-thing to me 
  3  3   -3  3   2
that I can't ex-plain
  2   3   3  3   3  3  -3  4   6
Hold me clos-er and I feel no pain
6   4   -3   4 -5   5
Ev-‘ry beat of my heart
-5  4   4     -3  4  -3 4-33
We got some-thing go-ing on

-3  -3    4  -5   6
Ten-der love is blind, 
6  -6    6  -5 -5 -5  5  -5
it re-quires a ded-i-ca-tion
 6   -6    6  -5  5
All this love we feel 
  6   -5 -5   4  4   4
needs no con-ver-sa-tion
3   4   -3 2    3  -3  -54-33
We ride it to-geth-er, ah-ha
 3  -3   4   -3   3   -3  4   -54-33
Mak-in love with each oth-er, ah-ha

6    -5  -5  5    5
Is-lands in the stream
 6   -5  -5  5   5
That is what we are
-6  6  6  -5   -5
No one in be-tween
-6   6  6  -5   -5
How can we be wrong
  6 -5 -5    5  5  
Sail a-way with me
6  -5 -5  5    5
To an-oth-er world
-3  4  -5 6  -5   4  -3  4   -54-33
And we re-ly on each oth-er, ah-ha
  6   6   6  -5 -5  4  4  -3  -54-33
From one lov-er to an-oth-er, ah-ha

2   3     3   3    3   3
I can't live with-out you 
3   3   -3   3   2
if the love was gone
2   3    3   3    3   3
Ev-‘ry-thing is noth-ing 
3   3  -3  4   6 
if you got no one
 6  -6   6   -3  4   4    4
And you did walk in the night
 -5  4   4  -3    4   -3  4   4    -3 3
Slow-ly los-ing sight of the real thing

 2   2     3    3   3  3  3
But that won't hap-pen to us 
 3  3  -3  3    2
and we got no doubt
2    2  3    3   3  3   3  -3  4   6
So deep in love and we got no way out
 6   5  -3   5   -5   5
And the mes-sage is clear
 -5    4   4   -3   4  -3   4   4    -3 3
This could be the year for the real thing

-3  -3    4  -5   6
No more will you cry, 
6  -6 6  -5   -5  -5   5  -5
Ba-by I will hurt you nev-er
6    6    6  -6  -5  5
We start and end as one, 
6   -5  -5  5  5
in love for-ev-er
4   3    4  -3  2   3  -3  -54-33   
We can ride it to-geth-er, ah-ha
 3  -3    4   -3   3   -3  4   -54-33
Mak-ing love with each oth-er, ah-ha
