D D6 D7M D G G/F# Em7 A7 A A9 A D F#m Bm
And I love you so, the people ask me how
Bm7/E Cdim G G/F# Em7 Em6 A D Cdim A
How I've lived 'till now, I tell them I don't know
A A9 A Asus4 G G/F# Em7 A7 A A9 A D F#m Bm
I guess they understand, how lonely life has been
Bm7/E Cdim G G/F# Em7 Em6 A D G D A7
But life began again, the day you took my hand
D9 Dsus4 Em7/9 Em7 G/B A7 Em7 A7
And yes, I know how lonely life can be
Em7/9 Em7 G/B A7 Em7 A7 D9 G/B D A7
The shadows follow me, and the night won't set me free
D9 Dsus4 Em7/9 Em7 G/B A7 Em7 A7
But I don't let the evening get me down
Em7/9 Em7 G/B A7 D D6 D7M D G G/F# Em7
Now that you're around me and you love me too
A7 A A9 A D F#m Bm Bm7/E Cdim G G/F# Em7
Your thoughts are just for me, you set my spirit free
Em6 A D Cdim A A9 A Asus4 G G/F# Em7
I'm happy that you do, the book of life is brief
A7 A A9 A D F#m Bm Bm7/E Cdim G G/F# Em7
And once a page is read, all but love is dead
Em6 A D G D A7 D9 Dsus4 Em7/9 Em7 G/B A7 Em7 A7
That is my belief. and yes, I know how lonely life can be
Em7/9 Em7 G/B A7 Em7 A7 D9 G/B D A7
The shadows follow me, and the night won't set me free
D9 Dsus4 Em7/9 Em7 G/B A7 Em7 A7
But I don't let the evening get me down
Em7/9 Em7 G/B A7 D
Now that you're around me
