A friend of mine called up, said, "I finally had some luck 
F                C              G 
Could I have a minute of your time? 

F                C            F          C 
I met a girl last night and try as I might 
  F                C     G 
I can't get her off my mind 

    F              C                 F        C 
She walked through the room and right then I knew 
    F              C         G 
I'd finally found somebody for me 

       F             C            F            C 
But to tell you the truth I don't know what to do 
         F             C         G 
Should I go ahead or wait and see?" 

I said, 
 

 
          F      C        Am     G 
"Give it all you got, no holdin' back 
      F     C       G 
Let a light in your soul 
         F    C     Am       G 
Ain't it bet-ter to lose in love 
        F      C      G 
than to never love at all 
        F        C      G 
Than to never love at all?" 
 

 
    F            C            F         C 
Now I'm the kind of guy who's normally quite shy 
   F        C            G 
On romance I don't know a thing 

             F              C         F            C 
But when she led me to the floor, I'd never danced before 
F           C        G 
Suddenly my feet had wings 

  F         C             F      C 
I know that she wants me, I want her too 
    Fm              C             G 
But I'm so confused I can't think straight 

   F     C          F           C 
I feel so alive but on the other side 
          F      C                G 
Should I go ahead or should I wait? 

I said, 
 

 
          F      C        Am     G 
"Give it all you got, no holdin' back 
      F     C       G 
Let a light in your soul 
         F    C     Am       G 
Ain't it bet-ter to lose in love 
        F        C      G 
Than to never love at all?" 
         F    C     Am       G 
Ain't it bet-ter to lose in love 
        F      C      G 
than to never love at all?

So when the music starts to flow from your hearts 
         F            C     G 
Like the comin' of an early spring 

         F            C       F               C 
When the river starts to flow between your soul to soul 
       F        C        G 
May no man ever come between 

F      C               F         C 
Die in her arms if she wants you to 
   C         C            G 
Be thankful for each passin' day 

         F            C          F      C 
When your eyes collide let your spirits fly 
     F          C            G 
And pray to God it's here to stay 

I said, 
 

 
          F      C        Am     G 
"Give it all you got, no holdin' back

Ain't it bet-ter to lose in love 
        F      C      G 
than to never love at all 
        F        C      G 
Than to never love at all?"

        F        C      G 
Than to never love at all?"
