[Verse 1]
D                    Bm
I've nothing much to offer
C#m                     Gdim
There's nothing much to take
G                  D
I'm an absolute beginner
C                  Bm   Em  A
And I'm absolutely sane
D                    Bm
As long as we're together
C#m                 Gdim
The rest can go to hell
G                  D
I absolutely love you
C                  Bm
But we're absolute beginners
G                  D
With eyes completely open
F#                  A
But nervous all the same
 
 
[Chorus]
Em A   D
If our love song
               G
Could fly over mountains
                   Bm
Could laugh at the ocean
              F#
Just like the films
Em      A  D
There's no reason
                G
To feel all the hard times
                     Bm
To lay down the hard lines
                A
It's absolutely true
 
[Interlude]
G G G A
G G G A
G G G D
 
 
[Verse 2]
D                  Bm
Nothing much could happen
C#m              Gdim
Nothing we can't shake
G                 D
Oh we're absolute beginners
C                    Bm
With nothing much at stake
D                       Bm
As long as you're still smiling
C#m                  Gdim
There's nothing more I need
D                 D
I absolutely love you
C                  Bm
But we're absolute beginners
G                      D
But if my love is your love
F#               A
We're certain to succeed
 
 
[Chorus]
Em A   D
If our love song
               G
Could fly over mountains
                   Bm
Could laugh at the ocean
              F#
Just like the films
Em      A  D
There's no reason
                G
To feel all the hard times
                     Bm
To lay down the hard lines
                A
It's absolutely true

I gave 5 stars but the intro is wrong...besides that it's perfect...my suggestion for the intro: D | D G | D | D G | A | A G | A | A G (2 x)

On verse 3rd chord is not C#m but Amaj7.
