*CAPO 4nd FRET*
 
(Original Key: B)
 
 
[Intro]
 
G  C (x2)
 
[Verse 1]
 
G                              C
 You've been around for such a long time now,
         Am                       D
Or maybe I could leave you, but I don't know how.
G                           C
 And why should I be lonely every night,
           Am                      D
When I can be with you; oh yes, you make it right.
 
[Chorus 1]
 
      C                   D
And I don't listen to the guys who say,
            G                        C
That you're bad for me, and I should turn you away.
      G          Am         Bm  D
'Cos, they don't know about us,
    C             F        G
And they've never heard of love.
 
[Verse 2]
 
G                        C
 I get a feeling, when I look at you;
         Am                  D
Wherever you go now, I wanna be there too.
G                            C
 They say we're crazy, but I just don't care,
            Am                          D
And if they keep on talkin', still they get nowhere.
 
[Chorus 2]
 
     C                        D
So I don't mind if they don't understand,
       G                    C
When I look at you, and you hold my hand.
      G          Am         Bm  D
'Cos, they don't know about us,
    C             F        G
And they've never heard of love.
 
[Bridge 1]
 
Em             F                Am            D
 Why should it matter to us, if they don't ap-prove?
Em              F                       C                    D
 We should just take our chances, while we've got nothing to lose.
 
[Solo]
 
G  C (x3), D
              Baby!
 
[Verse 3]
 
G                           C
 There's no need for living in the past,
      Am                       D
Now I found good loving; gonna make it last.
G                         C
 I tell the others not to bother me,
               Am                          D
'Cos when they look at you, they don't see what I see.
 
[Chorus 4]
 
      C                     D
No, I don't listen to their wasted lines,
       G                     C
Got my eyes wide open, and I see the signs.
      G          Am         Bm  D
'Cos, they don't know about us,
    C             F        G
And they've never heard of love.
 
[Chorus 5]
 
      C                     D
No, I don't listen to their wasted lines,
       G                     C
Got my eyes wide open, and I see the signs.
      G          Am         Bm  D
'Cos, they don't know about us,
    C             F        G
And they've never heard of love.
 
[Outro]
 
C  F  G (x2)

I just played this along with the song. You nailed it brother. Thanks for a great tune by a now overlooked talent.

Good job! Had trouble figuring out the walk-down (I had A / D / Bm / E but your A / Bm / C#m / E is spot on). Thanks!
