Baby when I met you there was peace unknown
                            C6         C7
I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb.
      F                                     C
I was soft inside there was something going on.
 
C                             C6      C
You do something to me that I can't explain
                     C6      C7         F
Hold me closer and I feel no pain every beat of my heart
                       C
We got something going on.
 
C              Fmaj7
Tender love is blind

It requires a dedication.

All this love we feel needs no conversation.

C6      F
That is what we are
Dm                        G
No one in between how can we be wrong?
      C           C6  F
Sail away with me to another world
         C                C6 C
And we rely on each other uh huh

From one lover to another uh huh.
 
C                               C6      C
I can't live without you if the love is gone
                               C6     C7
Everything is nothing when you got no one
            F
And you did walk in the night
                           C6   C
Slowly losing sight of the real thing.
 
    C                              C6     C
But that won't happen to us and we got no doubt
                            C6     C7
Too deep in love and we got no way out
        F
And the messages is clear
                              C6   C7
This could be the year of the real thing.

No more will you cry baby I will hurt you never.
