Islands In The Stream

	  		C  
Baby, when I met you there was peace unknown.  
                                                    C7  
I set out to get you with a fine-tooth comb.  
         F                                                       C  
I was soft inside.  There was something going on.  

C  
You do something to me that I can't explain.  
                                         C7  
Hold me closer and I feel no pain.  
          F                                                          C      F   C  
Every beat of my heart we got something going on.  

                     Fmaj7  
Tender love is blind, it requires a dedication.  
Fm  
All this love we feel needs no conversation.  

            C  
We can ride it together, uh huh,  
            C  
Making love with each other, uh huh.  
            
     G7            C                     F  
Islands in the stream, that is what we are.  
            Dm7  
No one in between;  how can we be wrong?  
          C                     F  
Sail away with me  to another world,  
             C                   
And we rely on each other, uh huh,  
              Dm7                      C  
From one lover to another, uh huh.
  

C                
I can't live without you if the love is gone.  
                                                     C7  
Everything is nothing when you got no one.  
                   F   
And you just walk in the night,  
                                    C            F  C  
slowly losing sight of the real thing.  
      C      
But that won't happen to us and we got no doubt;  
                                                    C7  
Too deep in love and we got no way out,  
            F  
And the message is clear:  
                                         C               F   C  
This could be the year for the real thing.  

                        Fmaj7  
No more will you cry.  Baby, I will let you never.  
       Fm  
We start and end as one, in love forever.  
            C  
We can ride it together, uh huh,  

Making love with each other, uh huh.
