[Verse 1: Riff 1]
 
D        D/F#                                   G             A
         When your legs don't work like they used to before
D       D/F#                                G    A
       And I can't sweep you off of your feet[Intro/Verse/Chorus Riff]
 D         D/F#   G        A
 
D      D/F#                                  G           A
      Will your mouth still remember the  taste of my love
D     D/F#                         G      A
    Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks
 
            D   D/F#           G   A          D  D/F#    G A
And darling I will be loving you till we're 70
            D  D/F#                  G  A        D    D/F#
And baby my heart could still fall as hard at 23
G                         A
And I'm thinking bout how
 
[Pre-Chorus 1: Riff 2]
Em                         A      D
People fall in love in mysterious ways
Em                         A
Maybe just the touch of a hand
     Em                          A          Bm
Well me I fall in love with you every single day
    Em                      A
And I just wanna tell you I am
            D       D/F#
So honey now..
 
[Chorus: Riff 1]
G           A                D    D/F#
   Take me into your loving arms
G           A                    D        D/F#
  Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
G            A                  D     D/F#
  Place your head on my beating heart
             G    A
I'm thinking out loud
 
[Riff 3]
          Bm  A    G    D/F#     Em   A   D
And maybe we found love right where we are
 
[Verse 2: Riff 1]
 D            D/F#                               G           A
       And when my hair's all but gone and my memory fades
D      D/F#                           G     A
   And the crowds don't remember my name
         D      D/F#               G          A
            When my hands don't play the strings the same way
D         D/F#                              G     A
        I know you will still love me the same
 
           D      D/F#               G     A            D  D/F#        G   A
Cause honey your soul could never grow old it's evergreen
           D     D/F#            G  A            D     D/F#
And baby your smile's forever in my mind and memory
G                A
And I'm thinking bout how
 
[Pre-Chorus 2: Riff 2]
Em                        A       D
People fall in love in mysterious ways
Em                           A
And maybe it's all part of a plan
      Em                      A     Bm
Well I'll just keep on making the same mistake
Em                    A
Hoping that you'll understand
D              D/F#
That baby now..
 
[Chorus: Riff 1]
G        A                 D  D/F#
Take me into your loving arms
G         A                    D        D/F#
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
G           A                   D   D/F#
Place your head on my beating heart
             G    A
I'm thinking out loud
 
[Interlude]
          Bm  A    G    D/F#     Em   A   D
That baby we found love right where we are
