Intro: B  E B    
   
   
B   
Baby, when I met you there was peace unknown.  
                                                     B7   
I set out to get you with a fine-tooth comb.   
                E                                              B    E B   
I was soft inside; there was something goin’ on.   
B   
You do something to me that I can't explain.   
                                           B7        
Hold me closer and I feel no pain.  
              E                                                   B     E   B   
Ev'ry beat of my heart we got something goin’ on.   

                           Emaj7   
Tender love is blind, it requires a dedication.   
Em   
All this love we feel needs no conversation   
   
  
                   B   
When we ride it together, uh huh,   
   
makin' love with each other, uh huh.  
                B                                E    
Islands in the stream  that is what we are:   
                   C#m7   
No one in between. How can we be wrong?   
               B                            E   
Sail away with me to another world   
                   B   
And we rely on each other, uh huh,   
                   C#m7                 B   
From one lover to another, uh huh.
   
   
B   
I can't live without you if the love has gone.   
                                                B7   
Ev'rything is nothing if you got no one   
                         E   
And you just walk in the night,   
                                           B         E  B   
Slowly losing sight of the real thing.          
B   
But that won't happen to us and we got no doubt,   
                                                B7   
Too deep in love and we got no way out,   
                       E   
And the message is clear: 

this could be the year   
                  B          E    B   
For the real thing.   
                                   Emaj7   
No more will you  cry, Baby. I will hurt you never.   
              Em   
We start and end as one, in love forever.
