Intro (does not denote strumming)


G                             C(add9)
You've been around for such a long time now;
         Am                      D
Oh maybe I could leave you but I don't know how.
G                          C(add9)
And why should I be lonely every night
           Am                        D
When I can be with you?  Oh yes, you make it right.

      Am                  D
But I don't listen to the boys who say
            G                       C(add9)
That you're bad for me and I should turn you away.

       G          Am         Bm    D
'Cause they don't know 'bout us; 
Am            F        G
They've never heard of love. 

I get a feeling when I look at you,
Wherever you go now, I wanna be there too.
They say we're crazy but I just don't care,
And if they keep on talkin', still dont get nowhere.

So I don't mind if they don't understand,
When I look at you when you hold my hand.

'Cause they don't know 'bout us; 
They've never heard of love. 

Bm            C               F           Bm
Why should it matter to us if they don't aprove?
Bm              C                                            D   
We should just take our chances, what if we've got nothing to lose?
Baby!

There's no need for living in the past,
Now I found good loving, gonna make it last.
I tell the others, "Don't bother me,"
'Cause when I look at you, they don't see what I see.

No, I don't listen to their wasted lines;
Got my eyes wide open and I see the signs.

'Cause they don't know 'bout us; 
They've never heard of love.

So, I don't listen to their wasted lines;
Got my eyes wide open and I see the signs.

'Cause they don't know 'bout us; 
They've never heard of love.
