[Verse]
A            Bm 
And I love you so. 
                   A  - F#m 
The people ask me how, 
                    Bm - D 
How I've lived till now. 
                    E  - Aadd9 
I tell them I don't know. 
                Bm 
I guess they understand 
                    A   - F#m 
How lonely life has been. 
                 Bm  - D 
But life began again 
                                A 
The day you took my hand.
[Chorus]
A   Aug                       Bm 
And, yes, I know how lonely life can be. 
  D                             A 
The shadows follow me, and the night won't set me free. 
   F#m                     Bm 
But I don't let the evening get me down 
E                   A 
Now that you're around me.
[Instrumental]
A-Bm-E-A-Bm-E-A
[Verse]
A               Bm 
And you love me, too. 
                          A   - F#m 
Your thoughts are just for me; 
                    Bm - D 
You set my spirit free. 
                    E 
I'm happy that you do.  
                    Bm 
The book of life is brief 
                    A   - F#m 
And once a page is read, 
                 Bm - D 
All but love is dead. 
             A - Asus - A 
That is my belief.
[Chorus]
A                       Bm 
And, yes, I know how loveless life can be. 
      E                         A 
The shadows follow me, and the night won't set me free. 
    F#m               Bm 
But I don't let the evening bring me down 
      E  -           A 
Now that you're around me.
[Verse]
A            Bm 
And I love you so. 
                   A  - F#m 
The people ask me how, 
                    Bm - D 
How I've lived till now. 
                    E  
I tell them I don't know.
