Intro:
G   (play riff 1)

G            Am (riff2)  D 
And I love you so.
                   G (riff1) - Em
The people ask me how,
                    Am (riff2) - C
How I've lived till now.
                    D  - G
I tell them I don't know.
                Am (riff2) D
I guess they understand
                    G (riff1) - Em
How lonely life has been.
                 Am (riff2)  - C
But life began again
                                G (riff1) (down to f# on bass)
The day you took my hand.

G           Bm       Am                  Am7 
And, yes, I know how lonely life can be.
  C                  D          G (riff on b string 3-1-0) then descend bass (e string 3,2)
The shadows follow me, and the night won't set me free.
   Em       Bm      Am                 Am7 
But I don't let the evening get me down
D                D7    G
Now that you're around me.

intro riff

G               Am   D 
And you love me, too.
                          G   - Em 
Your thoughts are just for me;
                    Am - C
You set my spirit free.
                    D  - G  
I'm happy that you do.

                    Am        D
The book of life is brief
                    G   - Em
And once A page is read,
                 Am - C
All but love is dead.
             G - G(sus4)- G
That is my belief.

G           Bm        Am                  Am7
And, yes, I know how loveless life can be.
      D              D7        G 
The shadows follow me, and the night won't set me free.
    Em      Bm      Am                    Am7
But I don't let the evening bring me down
      D  - D7          G
Now that you're around me.


G            Am     D
And I love you so.
                   G  - Em
The people ask me how,
                    Am - C
How I've lived till now.
                    D/G  
I tell them I don't know.
